This song is from the game, "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask". I'm actually surprised no one has ever tried to remix it, yet.

I remember...when this song played in the game--it filled me with a sense of dread. The earth would shake, and the clocktower would sound it's bells. The town itself was empty--the townsfolk had fled. A guard stood watch and stared up at the moon. He would've ran if he could--however, it was his duty to guard the town, even though he visibly shook from fear, one had to admire his resolve. Across from him stood the carpenter, who turned his fear into anger and stood arrogantly in place--determined to prove everyone wrong and be the first to see the dawn of the next day.
Basically, I hope whoever wants to remix this can capture that sort of atmosphere. A piano along with strings can handle the main theme/melody, synths can do the backgrounds--or if you see fit, do what you will--it just needs to recapture that same atmosphere.
However, I would LOVE it if you could implement the bells in the background. Make it disjointed from the rest of the song--it's just background noise, but have it echo and as the song progresses--grow more important and loud until the end when the song stops suddenly and the bell could ring one final time. I might have gotten carried away, haha...but that's basically it.
