djpretzel Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I apologize for the tags, I really have no idea what to do when it comes to them. I tried reading up on them, but I just couldn't understand it. My remixer name is Darangen and the remix is from Final Fantasy 6 (SNES). This is a remix of Gau's theme, with little hints of the Veldt as well near the end. It's a vocal mix as well, written through the eyes of Gau and how I think he feels. Here is the setting of the song: It's raining (obviously) and Gau is forced to take refuge in the cave on the veldt. He then sits just inside the entrance, looking out into the storm, thats when these thoughts come to his mind about how he's all alone and how he longs to find someone willing to accept him. He starts thinking about it and the person he'd like to meet and he gets a little joyful about it (4:35), but then reality hits him and he sees the storm again, making him remember that he's still all alone. And in case the lyrics don't seem clear for you, here are the lyrics: I've gone through many days like this Never wanted or missed Every day's the same Endless recurring pain No one's with me, regardless of wherever I roam I feel empty, all alone I never thought this day would end Still alone, still no friends Still alone by myself I'm here but no-one else Am I dreaming? Will this pain be gone if I ever wake? This is more than I can take 'Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old time is still flying.. For this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying..' Forever walking down this road No one cares, no one knows The feeling inside of me A passion that burns to be So much nearer, to somebody that would understand To show no fear, and take my hand * The "Gather ye rosebuds..." part is a reading of the poem "To The Virgins, To Make Much of Time." * Hope you like it, and thanks for listening. - Michael 'Darangen' Boyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vig Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 "that was absolutely horrible. You're the worst singer i've ever heard." okay, so it's not that bad. not by a long shot. but the singing is definately off-key in many places. on top of that the vocals are need....different reverb. the guitar is both played and recorded unimpressively. the synths sound okay, the arrangement is fine in my book, but the recording is amateurish. you could probably polish it up a bit and make it much better.

Protricity Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 A few off key notes either in the vocals or strings here and there. Still this song has a nice mood to it. Lyrics really suck though. I'd like to see something more original for once. Man, stuff like 1:40 is just completely off key. Song goes up from there, but there are still so many notation problems.

GrayLightning Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Man, the vocals are off and it really brings this mix down. But the background work is really cool and touching. Nice instrumentation and percussive work. I particularly liked the section around 2:40. I am very fond of this mix, I hope you could try to get your vocals right, rerecord and resubmit. I would probably vote Yes on an instrumental version of this also. As it is, sad to give this a NO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Vocals are really terrible. You've got a lot of intonation issues going on; things like that can only be fixed with lots of voice training etc. Lyrics are also corny, typical, and all around bad. The guitar playing is pretty nice though, and there's a good groove and texture going on once the percussion comes in. However, that's not enough to negate the terrible vocals.
