BlueEnvy Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 I havent heard the original so I cant really judge it on how well it interprets the original. When I first heard this song, I didnt like how the lyrics were cut up in the first half. After a few more listens, I came to the conclusion that it worked well, and now I think it sounds very nice. The piano nicely complements everything, and the synth work is good...One part that doesnt seem to work is the tempo change, there isnt a good transition into it, since it kinda flattens out, and starts again in the new tempo. Otherwise, the rest of this song is great. I really like the ending, it has a wonderful sweeping feel on a beatiful chord. Too bad there arent any more mixes with similar style to this one (atleast I havent encountered any) ~Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buliwyf Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 If only her voice wasn't all broken up. this would be beautiful. I'd buy it if i could but as it is, it's still nice but i can't get over the broken vocals spoiling it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoLutherus Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 All in all, I think it's worth listening to, but the broken voice, especially in the beginning, really brought it down for me. I was struggling to hear the words and I'd have like to know what they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 At first that was one of my chief complaints about this song, but after listening to it a few times, I think it definitely adds something different. I've listened to 7 years broken for quite a while before I stumbled upon this one, so this had a lot to live up to. Still, give it a few more listens, you might end up liking it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobTheDog Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Wow. I don't usually listen to Remixes with vocals, but this one is just so... interesting. And DANG it's cool. I haven't heard the original, but this ROCKS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumya Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 OMG!!! this makes a beautiful song even more beautiful. The vocals are great, (a little "broken", but it's ok)I love the lyrics of the song and the beat is amazing, get this song NOW!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDisguise Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 This is the song that got me hooked on OC Remix about 2 years ago. And in turn all of my friends. And then made me play xenogears and xenosaga again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumya Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 This song basicly describes what I like in a song. Beautiful lyrics, an amazing vocal and a soothing melody. It just blew me away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3vil.vu Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 My god... nothing like a fine piece of art to go with an fine game. This song just brings tears to my eyes and reminds me of the first time i beat xenogears and heard Small of Two Pieces...*tear* keep up the good work!

Moganium Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Actually, the gaps give me a headache while listening to it. It would have been much better without those and thus giving the entire piece a smoother flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFireKai Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Epic, Just Epic. Every aspect of the song screams it. It's like the Lord of the Rings, you may not like it, but you have to admit its greatness. I love the way the vocals weave through the song, and the Melody is excellent.

rapa-nui Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Bump. For those that don't yet know it, this is probably one of the top 5 mixes on the site. Download now if you have not done so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sefy Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Very Nice. And beatiful!! Can someone post the lyrics, please?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aamean Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Lyrics below, as requested. I've had this song for a very long time (Xenogears being one of the first games I started downloading music for) and still love it to this day. Just a beautiful song overall, a must download. Small Two of Pieces Run through the cold of the night As passion burns in your heart Ready to fight, a knife held close by your side Like a proud wolf alone in the dark With eyes that watch the world And my name like a shadow on the face of the moon Broken mirror, a million shades of light The old echo fades away But just you and I Can find the answer. And then, We can run to the end of the world We can run to the end of the world Cold fire clenched to my heart In the blue of night Torn by this pain, I paint your name in sound And the girl of the dawn With eyes of blue, and angel wings The songs of the season are her only crown Broken mirror, a million shades of light The old echo fades away But just you and I Can find the answer. And then, We can run to the end of the world We can run to the end of the world We met in the mist of morning And parted deep in the night Broken sword and shield, and tears that never fall But run through the heart Washed away by the darkest water The world is peaceful and still Broken mirror, a million shades of light The old echo fades away But just you and I Can find the answer. And then, We can run to the end of the world We can run to the end of the world Run to the end of the world... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediknightjace Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 This song would be truly AWESOME if it didn't sound like she was singing it in an airplane going through major turbulence(not to dis the song, sounds like a heck of a lot of work went into it). Crying shame, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTelepath Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 This song would be truly AWESOME if it didn't sound like she was singing it in an airplane going through major turbulence(not to dis the song, sounds like a heck of a lot of work went into it). Crying shame, though. Yeah... I felt the same way, I thought it was horrible how garbled the voice sounded, but then it kinda grew on me. I don't even notice it anymore and it actually starts sounding pretty good. Give it a chance to win you over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crepti Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I'd just like to say that I love the way this song is executed. My late best friend loved the original song, and she sung it all of the time, so Small Two Of Pieces is a rather emotional and important piece for me - And I think you remixed it wonderfully. Well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady zelda Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I completely agree ^. Small Two of Pieces is a truly beautiful song, my favorite (drastic understatement), and I can't stop singing it myself either. So this remix is awesome cuz it adds a different touch of that same beauty to the song. What else can I say? You've made a masterpiece, Alexander.

F'lar Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 This remix has to be the most beautiful song I have ever heard. So good in fact, that this remix made me go and BUY a ps1 and the game, just to hear the original as well, which I'm glad I did. This remix is, as I sai, the most beautiful thing to ever grace my ears. Download it immediately, you will not be dissapointed. Wow. Alexander Prievert outdid himself this time, nothing more to say about this masterpiece, but if I one complaint about it, it's the fact that it only has the first verse and the chorus. Other than that, musical perfection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
your the man now dog Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 ****. ****. ****. This song makes me so happy. What a great remix. Remixes with vocals almost always win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.d Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 My friend introduced me to this song since it is his favorite song from the site. I agree that this song with vocals is a win. Great job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duo Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 How can this song be gripping, emotional, and epic all at the same time? This really is a perfect piece to me. I love everything about the way it sounds, the way it's sang...I've played Xenogears through before twice, and now I feel the need to buy the OST just to hear more of this, though none of it will match such greatness. I especially love the buildup at 1:32 until 2:05, as well as the lyrical part that follows. Ugh, how can I pick a part that I like best?

Indigo Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 When I listen to this song I get the mental image of a soft, dark path with a shower of glass shards (nevermind, let's say gems since they're less sharp and cut-y) raining down, catching the light of some unseen light source and refracting it into the colors of the rainbow. I did not take LSD while listening to the song. It just rocks. Sadly I've never played Xenogears all the way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillRock Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 This one has a strong following, and its not hard to see why. I love this, its awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Armor Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 The vocal track was a great addition to an already amazing song. The Synthesizer (ensemble?) was nice, but just felt a little too much on the volume. I would have liked to hear some more direction with that Synth. Great track.
