What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

[hitokirisabin]

Sounds like something I'd hear off of an anime ending! I love playing this over and over even though it just got posted. Kudos! Satisfies me just enough to where it doesn't bore me. :) Especially around 1:40. I love that part.

[irriadin]

Fantastic. I've been listening to this one ever since I found it some three months ago. Simply stellar stuff.

[analoq]

very glad to finally see this on OCR.
this one's nothing short of superb.
a must-have.

cheers.

[Navi]

Sounds like something I'd hear off of an anime ending!

Exactly. Reminds me of something that might fit well into Gundam Seed.

Great stuff. Loving it. Quality.

[Wanderer]

This is an instant classic. Like Salzman's "Pillar of Salt" proved, the lyrics of the vocals don't have to be understood (for most of us, anyway) to be loved. I was pretty dissapointed that the OCR judging panel rejected the Italian remix of FF6's opera theme known as "Amor Mio, Caro Bene," but this one just makes up for it tenfold.

10/10 One of the best songs you'll ever download on this site

[benevolensaurus]

Sounds like something I'd hear off of an anime ending!

Exactly.

I'll third that. This is some pretty good stuff.

[bladiator]

Liontamer pointed this one out back in the summer, and I've had it burnt ever since. Quality stuff ... everyone should try it out once.

[jorgandar]

beautiful... definitly worth the download. =D

[Fray]

Good... God... This is awesome. Easily among the best vocal remixes here.

[GrayLightning]

I heard this around half a year ago. Beyond magnificent, even today.

[Txai]

Another great remix.

[AkumajoBelmont]

The jewel in the OCR crown at the moment...

It's SO refreshing to hear a mix that is something other than another rock, orchestral or trance remix.

OCR needs more of THIS...

I am officially blown away...

[Corporal Eschebone]

I've had this for quite a while now, never would have guessed it'd end up on OCR.

The vocals are very well done; I didn't even know it was a love song until the English translation was posted.

[BlackPhantom]

Wow, a love song that I like! This is some good stuff. Can't believe this was actually made for a wedding.

[Tepid]

Stunning, simply stunning. We need more of this! I can't emphasise how much I like this song, it sounds like something straight from the credits of an anime film...ok ok, I'll fourth that. :wink:

[chthonic]

Welcome to OCR, vergo890.

On an unrelated note, this is absolutley AMAZING. Excellent work.

[Nintendo_Ace]

I started listening to this , not havgin read any of Djpretzels input on the song. Needless to say the italian lyics surprised me.

But not as much as the quality of the song. This is amazing work. Everything fits perfectly together. Just beautiful work.

And My compliments to N-Joy's wife on her incredible voice.

[*Drasiir]

Amazing. There are few songs that'll have me saying this, but..

Thank you. Thank you for this gift.

[Joe Redifer]

Stormlord - which is the best game ever made in the history of everything ever - should feel lucky to have this remix. In fact, I bet more people have responded to this thread than have ever played Stormlord.

[StarBLaSt]

This is really neet, but it could have been a LOT better. Some points:

1. More dynamics. It's about the same level of intensity throughout. I was expecting some sort of beefy climax but I got nothing.
2. You really should have done another take on the vocals. Toward the end the autotuning gets REALLY really apparent. 2:38 is a good example.
3. A breakdown section would have been nice, a break in the middle of the song for synthwork/percussion would have been awesome.

The instrumentation is neet, the effects you used were neet but like, they left me expecting a big climax.

Guitar solo at the end is cool, everything is pretty well mixed, so if you take those three tips, you'd have a hardcore winner.

[rapa-nui]

I hate most lovey-wuvie songs (they sicken me), but this one was pretty neat, I guess.

Also, I agree with the above. The guy makes awesome mixes, so he must know what he's talking about.

[frashpikass]

For Simona: Complimenti, canti davvero benissimo! Mi fa piacere l'idea di non essere il solo italiano su OCRemix!
Complimenti davvero!

[VGJunky]

I've been listening to the mixes here for something like 2 years now, and in my history of forums use, I've only really commented on the songs that I thought were outrageously awesome.

Well, there you go. This mix is outrageously awesome:

The lyrics are great, wasn't expecting Italian at ALL from the context of the song title, etc, but it was like uncovering gold without even meaning to.

Simona's voice is excellent.

N-Joy did a great job on his cover of the music (although being only a listener and not a mixer myself, I can't tell if he's made mistakes or not).

Going on only the impression this song's left on me, I'm going to say this is the most emotionally stirring song I've heard on OCremix. Everything else has been "this sounds great" or "this is awesome", but the singing makes this feel so much more complete than pure instrumentation or synths would have been able to accomplish.

Good stuff.

[frashpikass]

Sono contento di non essere l'unico italiano su Ocremix!!!!

[Freudian Slip]

I think I've listened to this song thirty times today. I get something new out of it each time. Simona's voice is so moving, and the lyrics are beautiful, even before I knew what they meant. After reading the translation, the song has become even more haunting. The mixing and effects on the song are top-notch.

This is exactly the kind of music I'm always looking for. Thank you N-Joy and Simona for a masterpiece!

[Amayirot Akago]

This song goes above and beyond any OCR out there. That, and it's from a game I've actually played. Brilliant stuff.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Wow, I don't know how I missed this one, but it's amazing!

[Yamato2299]

I first heard this on VGDJ and I have to say its downright beautiful. The remixers obviously put a lot of work into it and I love the vocals (I've come to believe that not understanding the lyrics to several songs makes them more enjoyable). Sad to think that I would have skipped over this song based on the game's obscurity.

[Belmont]

Italiani su OCR, per piacere, I need help. At the start of the song, non capisco that distorted singing. My Italian is not so good. :o) The song begins with something like "io ho capito finalmente che non tornerai"(?). Please, help. Mille grazie. :)
(No, it's not on the lyrics page.)

[The Mac Attack]

I can't say I'm familiar with the game at all, but this is truly a marvelous work here.

Although it starts out in a fairly cliche fashion, once we get well into it, the highly infectious melody just takes over and is sure to be stuck in your head for hours (if you're not just playing the song on repeat anyway :P ).

Production-wise it's very well executed as well, and reminiscent of so many J-Pop songs I've heard recently.

One of, if not the, best pop piece on the site.

[Arwen]

I feel compelled to review this song because "infectious" as another poster said it is really putting it mildly. I have had this song stuck in my head for the better part of the week and am loving it! I only wish I understood Italian so I could memorize the words faster and sing along. There is an undercurrent of grace, strength and beauty in this song--partly from the language and partly from the arrangement. Simona is easily the most talented vocalist I've heard out of OCR.

Now, if anyone could tell me where I can find more Italian pop like this, I'd really appreciate it. :)!!

[MechaFone]

I wasn't actually sure if this was a remix from this site, the vocals are just top-notch and the music is superb. I'm going through my recent Utorrent downloads of every OCremix, and I just happened to find this on random.
I may have this on all night long.

[Palpable]

Can't believe this doesn't have more comments - what a fantastic song. Granted, I haven't played the game either which might account for the lack of comments, but this is radio-quality pop right here. Great singing from Simona, very expressive and smooth. Then the blend of guitars, piano, and synths just hits. I could listen to this all day.

[Dunther]

Wow, an italian song on OCR! Nice to see other italians here :)

[OA]

An exceptional mix in every sense of the word. Great vocals, good production, an exciting source track, and an effective arrangement.

A real standout ReMix, you'll be amazed after listening to it.
