So after having my hopes and dreams crushed by OCremix for my corneria remix, I decided to give remixing ONE more shot. And what better song to remix than the least remixed final fantasy 6 song.
Epitaph, It occurs only once in the game when you are walking down the stairs in daryl's tomb, setzer is remembering the last day he saw Daryl before her accident.
It's a very emotional song normally, but I wanted it to feel a bit lighter while still maintaining the original Idea :D
Honestly I don't think this song is done yet, there is more I will probably add, and as such i'm looking for suggestions :) Either in the comment field, or in my inbox :)
either way, I hope you enjoy what i've got so far :D
This isn't reviewed nearly enough.
While I enjoy OCRemix songs, the simple fact is that the judges are self-serving asswipes. =/
This is very, VERY good, and I like it a lot. Love the feel that it gives of the emotions of that scene...excellent job! Faved, fived, reved and downloaded. ^^
good..
no story here, for it has already been told, great work my friend, i hope to see more, prefect balance of the beats and kick-ins..great..
Truly great
Nothing else to say but truly great, I have this on my iPod and listen to it all the time :). 11/10
very nice
I haven't seen the inspiration for this song but it's obvious that it is very reminiscent. I would think the memory is suposed to be sad because "setzer is remembering the last day he saw Daryl before her accident". But once the drums kick in everything gets happy as if Setzer starts remembering all the good times. But even so, remembering good times will only make one miss there lost friend even more. I guess good memories is what you're trying to convey, and like I said I haven't seen this game, but wouldn't it be better if it starts reminiscent, gets reminiscently happy, and then gets really sad at the ending to reflect the feeling of loss for such a great friend?
Gorgeous
I was reminded of Mario 64 somehow by this song. The calm, enchanting piano that starts the song of is, obviously, beautiful, but also, it seemed familiar. When the synth came in, I was reminded of an under-water sort of theme. Mario comes to mind, but I could be thinking of something else.
Anyway, I'm going to play the song again now to see if I can find any specifics to critique... The intro is perfect. There seems to be a sweeping in the back that is very relaxing, almost like (in keeping with the watery theme in my mind :P) waves quietly crashing in. The reverb on the instruments is great, the drums are a great touch (I love how they're added in there without making the song seem too fast-paced). 2:30 in particular caught my attention, very soothing. Also, the outro is great. There are so many sounds working in unison to please the ear, it's wonderful. And the song ends at a good time too; before it has any chance of becoming stale.
Things to work on: Not a whole lot. There seems to be an odd glitch at 1:00 when the drums come in (not sure if it's done on purpose but imho, it doesn't fit the song), and at about 1:36 there's a synth that fades in and out that makes some weird harmonizing effect that grates on the ears a little. Keep in mind, though, that this is now the fourth time I've listened to it, and listened good. I had to really look for it, it's nothing blaring.
A great song man, I had to look hard to find things I didn't like. You mentioned how you like my reviews, but for the quality of your music, I couldn't NOT acknowledge a couple songs when I get the chance.
Keep up the good work as always!

Thank you again friend, You always make amazing reviews. The harmonizing was intended, .. well not intentionally grating .. but either way I see what you're talking about :D <3
Please contact me if you would like to use this in a project. We can discuss the details.
