Tre bien.

[Megshin]

That was awesome!!! I demand the lyrics so I can plug them into my song info on iTunes and my iPod!

So I'm listening to the intro, and I'm like "hey this sounds kind of weird"...then the lyrics come in and everything gets kicked into high gear. Excellent singing, man. You have this punk/pop-rock type of vocals, and it surprisingly suits the song well. I wasn't bothered by the game-oriented lyrics, yet I wasn't too excited about them either. They seem to be written with care, but they obviously didn't connect with me too well since I'm not familiar with the game and its music. It gets kind of funny towards the end though ("oh that massage sure sounds nice" -- classic!). The chiptune and various synth sounds mash very well, too. Love the soloing parts mid-track.

I'll be keeping my eye on you. More remixes with singing, please!

This is fantastic I do like the lyrics (especially the ending) and it's about time for a W&W mix. I'd love to see the lyrics sometime as well. Great to listen on the headphones as well. Congrats

Armour of Iron,
It's made to last
Helmet of Mythril,
Its Shine is cast,
No turning back now,
too late to run
Carry your sword like the warrior of legend

the odds are against you, They're Closing in
Superior knowledge will help you win.
without the key you're stuck here
The maiden's life depends on you.

The future is never certain
The pathway is rarely narrow,
Only the mission matters now,
Just pray the purest heart can win the day

Though the evil wizard's spell is cast
the warrior shows his mettle,
Daughter of the king
fairest maiden in all the realm.

Evil shall not triumph over good
he's Coming to slay this foulness
Yay He took his vows
Knight championed to serve, his King.

The future is never certain,
the roadway is rarely stable,
a true hero walks the hardest route
to fight for truth against the bravest odds

The future is never guaranteed,
The highway is wrought with dangerous ends
Carry your sword and raise your shield,
the hardest fight of all lies straight ahead.
(Electric recorder Solo [improvised by trenthian]
guitar solo - [improvised by brothersynthe] )

Waging epic battle, with the wizard and his evil magic, (the hero's wavering)
all his strongest devils gather with him seeking your destruction. (foulest incantations)

Perseverence guides you to the end the evil cant withstand
the force behind your mighty blows the master knows his time is coming.
Now's the time to be most cautious. Pull no punches. Give no mercy,
swing your sword to end this fight the princess cannot last much longer.

The battle for evil has ended, the warrior's body WEARY, princess in arm he stumbles home, the mission's goal so close he carries on,
The outcome is never guaranteed, a hero's welcome awaits you now, maybe a shower and massage, a happy ending if ever I heard one,
Oh! that massage sure sounds nice.

Armour of Iron
It's made to last,
helmet of mythril
its shine is cast,
No turning back now, too late to run,
carry your head higher
you're the warrior of legend.

All of the maidens, they want you now,
but most of all longs the princess fair (most of them all)
A fine King you'll make, some day I'm sure
At least till the sequel, where you'll have to do the same damn thing again!

Oh and Im not an extention of John's guitar emulating mouse-clickery.
I am Trenthian's little brother, Wolfe. I played the guitar heard on this track when I was 16 I think?

We recorded the guitar part in what feels like 2002 on John's custom Johnson Strat that he hasn't the first idea how to play.
I begged John to let me re-record it for the 2006 update, but he insisted on maintaining a sort of mystical attachment to the raw uncut and unedited improvisation I did originally those few years ago.

He also claims I am a synthesizer, but, well thats what big brothers are for.

I've been checking the homepages for MONTHS waiting for this song to be posted. It was an instant favorite for me when I first heard it on OLR, and now having heard a few different versions and its change from OLR quality to OCR quality, I feel as though it has matured and grown nicely.

My favorite parts are as follows. The spot in the beginning right where it picks up, "the warrior's body WEARRYYYY", and the massage.

I hope to see much more in this genre, and even moreso some more OLR/OCR crossovers. Da Black Market and Warrior in my Longjons, next: Jesue Belmont?

[Trenthian]

It will take an undiscovered amount of hard liquor to undo the horrors I hear when I think of the OLR version

Fun Fact:
the Guitar and Recoder solos are both from the OLR version, recorded circa 2002


I think my Synthesizer already said that, tl;dr

[YoshMaster]

Wow!! I seem to be repeating myself lately but this is one of the best vocal track ever on OC Remix!!!!

It doesn't hurt that it's one of the best "rock" remix musically too ;)

You do have a great pop-rock voice and you should never hesitate to sing in any of your future mix!!

This song (the theme in general) has always been a personal favorite even thought I never even played the game!!

I don't know why I like it so much but I think it comes from the way it sound both sad AND happy at the same time to me...! I find it extremely sad in a way (almost inducing tears sometimes :P) but since it's still in a fast beat it kinda energize me too... I think this kind of contrast is what makes it awesome! Emotions + music = true art!

And since your voice only adds to the emotions than I must conclude that you have made a unique and beautiful piece of art ;)

Thank you again, for you have given me a beautiful gift to begin a new year with!!

By the way, remixes like this one kind of makes me wish there was a "Donate" button on OCRemix so that I could give a dollar to every remix I love... after all I do it on iTunes for songs that are sometimes not even as good as most of the remixes here!! I just think that a lot of those remixers don't realize how much of a gift they give us all when submitting a great remix. Thousands of lucky listeners will get to listen to these tracks for years to come thanks to their hard work and I often have an urge to at least give them a little something in compensation for their time... and as long as it's a optional donation it won't hurt the site etc...

What do you guys think of this?
