I'm not gonna lie, I only heard this just days ago when I watched your video reacting to your old stuff. This... is... stunning. I love when artists put their own stamp on a cover. You owned this version. I love the subtlety, the light and shade, the rawness and the way it builds.

5 stars across the board, finally.... Someone did it right!!!
Yeah, I need to stop my complaining. I'm at least glad you submitted a tune to one of my favorite songs. While not as good as the original, still freaking fantastic. I can really visualize you working on this. It's just hard to mess up such a fantastic song. My favorite part is when you mention the movie never ends.
The use of instruments is fantastic as well. I like the notion of hiding somewhere in the night. It's the time where we all just seem to disappear. You (and this song) know how to bring out its mystery. It also helps you have a really hopeful tone in this. I love how it's just a commentary on life.
I stumbled on to this by complete accident. Was browsing the audio portal to find some Zelda based remix i could have for an ending/replay area theme, for a Jazza (you inspired) animation, my first to be exact, and I slipped onto this. At first I was like "This... this is magical. What possible being could make such an amazing sound?" So I look up, and what do I see? An Australian animation master, that of which I've been following since the dawn of Jazza back when Newgrounds was just a wee speck on the web. You sir, are a jack of all trades, and should be most definitely crowned "Mr Newgrounds" if such a title Existed. Even then... the Fulp would desire it, and there would be epic clash of Fulp and Jazza, and a black hole would be created, as the fabric of time and space was being ripped apart in such an epic battle, one word would be uttered, Titans...
Brilliant!
The emotion you captured in this is unparalleled, Excellent remake and in a lot of ways better!
