Dhsu Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Actually, I think Sil was just saying that certain parts of the arrangement reminded him of the Schumann concerto, but weren't actually taken from it. I really wouldn't know, though...it's a nice concerto, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nixs Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 you can definately hear the parts of the piece thats were used for the 'sad song'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavos - Devourer of Time Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I remember this song, it was always sad and almost humorous when it was used. This remix does the song justice. It captures the essence and feel to the song that the SNES's quality could only begin to handle. It is well written, this song works well with just a piano. It makes me think of the piano in "To Zanarkand". Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ ætheta Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I play alot of classical music, and when I brought this up on the piano my mom thought it was a song by chopin that I was learning. Can't get much better than being mistaken for chopin. This song is it, entirely. The piano is just secksi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Can't get much better than being mistaken for chopin. Haha, that's AWESOME! Man, Blak should really be proud of himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blak_Omen Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Arrangement is only half of the means to the end though! Huge props to the graceful intricacies of Dhsu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entropicdecay Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Man, this ReMix brings back so many memories... bein' in preschool, playing with friends... then a few years later, one of my friends moved away. I couldn't stop thinking about this music (original Sad Song)... I cried so hard. Time passed, and a concussion helped destroy any memory of the song. Then I found this site, and downloaded this great mix, "Waltz of Pain." The title drew me in. I opened up WinAmp and played it. Nothing could have been more beautiful. I love this remix, and have put it on almost every single playlist, especially my CD called "Requiem of Happiness" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blak_Omen Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 I'm very glad you enjoyed it. It's a great feeling to know that someone out there likes what you spent hours creating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Less Ashamed Of Self Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Such a brilliant little flourish. Definately a real pianist, nothing wrong with this song... it could be like... a concerto or something. The peak built to at 1:38 is absolutely gorgeous. Very expressive. Very painful, very good.

Impassioned Havoc Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 How have I not reviewed this song yet...? I could have sworn I did, but I've been flinging praise around the boards for some time now, so I might as well make it official. Checking my Windows Media Player... I have now listened to Waltz of Pain 89 times. That just barely moves it into first place for the most commonly listened to song on my computer. This also does not count the countless number of times I have listened to it on CD, as it has a spot on 2 of my 3 OCR mix CDs. Let me explain why. This song is amazing. This is the second song I downloaded from OCR, and to this day remains one of my favorites. The subtlety and skill with which this piece is played, combined with the masterful arrangement, makes this an instant classic in my book. It stands alone as a piece completely unique from everything else I've downloaded from OCR. It's a wonderful interpretation of the Sad Song from Super Mario RPG, and really evokes the pity and sorrow you feel for Mallow. And then, at 1'20", the more solid chords and volume build express the frustration. I can still picture Croc stealing Mallow's wallet, and the ensuing chase. It's all there in the song, mingling with some excellent piano playing. If I had to give this an award, I would probably give it an award for being the "Most Human Remix." You can see all the effort that went into making this piece, and how much it payed off. I want to see more remixes like this. Excellent work.

Tex Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Not a lot to add to the other's comments. Perfect piano and excellent work from Dhsu and Blak Omen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobaltstarfire Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 It's been said many times before, I'll say it again in my own lingo. This song is awsomeness in a bottle, maybe several. It's very beatifull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterKiller Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 That was very nice. The only thing I would change is maybe mix it up a little bit with something other than piano. I mean, keep the classical tone in there but throw some other things in there like maybe a solo violinist. Then again, that's just me. I still give it a 9/10 though. It's a very beautiful song.

Mariofreak Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Simply beautiful, no other way to put it. Had I not been a gamer, I would have guessed that this is a piece from the Romantic era. 5/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Pianist Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 this is my favorite type of remix--solo piano works that take the original song to a whole new level. i love this remix, the melody is hauntingly beautiful, so dark and mysterious, and a little tragic. and (i'm agreeing with everyone else), it sounds like one of Chopin's waltzes straight out of the Romantic period...

ph0sphorousgobu Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Wow, another amazing piano mix. I don't know which of the dudes involved is doing the piano (MC?), but s/he is very talented. Of course, what good is an awesome pianist without awesome music to play? I keep seeing Blak_Omen's name on some very awesome remixes (FF9 Hunter's Etude makes me wet myself). Regardless of who killed who, this is a very powerful and emotive song. You can hear the pain/agony behind it. Starts out slow, works up to a very awesome climax around 2:30-2:40, then slowly works its way down to nothingness. Very nice, very powerful, very moving. So to the guys who did this, keep doing whatever it is you're doing, it's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmopolitan Caveman Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 ok, I've been going around the website for several hours now, and finally I struck pure gold. There is amazing music on this website but this song truly defines the purpose of OCRemix. I registered just now so I could show my appreciation for this song. I'm listening to it for the 3rd time in a row and I still have shivers. Such emotions involved... poor mallow... his grandfather's a frog... how cruel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SChepulis Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I'm a huge fan of piano mixes and this is a terrific arrangement! I don't know how I haven't found this before. This is one of those songs that clearly outdoes the source material by leaps and bounds (no pun intended). Excellent arrangement and beautifully recorded and and played. I spent no time adding this to my media player! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 The piano sound is a little on the colder side of things, but the performance is very nice, and the arrangement itself is very nice. I wish it was a little louder, but otherwise, no complaints; this is very emotional and though it's more somber and introspective, I really like it.

docnano Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 This is still one of the best piano mixes I've heard on OCR. The source was wonderfully sappy to start with, but you brought it into a whole other realm of gorgeous, gushing romance. Nicely done, you two!
