GODD*MN AMAZING!

No wonder this was one of the first pieces from you I feel in love with way back in 2022 (how much happens in a few years lol). This does pretty much what everything you cover seems to do, that is taking a flower and making a garden (paraphrased from someone else I know). Here's the Tin3Sn breakdown:

The opening is magic. Both this and the original evoke the shiny surface of the ocean, but then this throws you into the dark, magical depths in the best way possible. You feel like at you're at the bottom and seeing all those shades of water and bubbles (as evoked by the percussive instrument). It feels like it's far eclipsed the cheerful vibes of the original and fits the lyrics really well, yet somehow it doesn't feel all that implausible or distant as a cover. The balance between the two is *really* tight and really well done.

Come the second chorus, and I think to myself, "How can Trois make something sound so damn funky and driving without drums?". It's amazing, I feel like I'm racing down the ocean floor. The chord progression that sounded so carefree once becomes a force of nature here and I'm ALL FOR IT. The arpeggios take on a different feel too, but this is becoming repetitive isn't it?

Then my favourite part, the second chorus at 1:55. What a change in vibes, and that's worth noting. But since it's to something pure magic I'll take it. further The use of autotune here may be the only one I've heard to actually have genuine musical value and the entire section is just absolutely haunting. Note also the vocals being quieter here, it almost gives the impression of something fading underwater, losing its light. That is a chilling image and and the "ahs" in the background just solidify this further. I don't think many people would have thought to include something like it in here, but you clearly knew what you were doing.

And then this song picks up the pace again with remarkable power. Something about the lack of drums actually makes this really striking, as I said. The bass works wonders here. Not too much else to say here beyond ****ing awesome cover of a Phyrnna song!

Not gonna go to deep into processing stuff. I don't know much about it, and I like how this sounds anyway, even if you had gone a bit overboard on the autotune (which I don't think you did and even if you did this rocks so hard I don't care).

I do think I know why you called this sexy, even though this hardly makes me feel romantic, and that lies in the lyrics. Something about them is so dark yet so entrancing, and it feels almost exactly like what you're describing here. Something who "ever still hold in my hands the end of the world", a "beautiful calamity" of sorts. As I write this I still discover new things about why this rules, and that's something.

What an absolute bullet hell of a song from made from a match in bullet heaven. I'm faving this for sure, and Trois, you can take this as a birthday gift too. Thank you for covering this song and bringing me into your fandom!

SO GOOD !!!!!!!

Sorry this took so long. I've been busy 😅. Not going to lie I really liked it but it felt like a entire build up so I didn't go into the song expecting the right thing. Listening to it again with the realization that there's no huge drop and it's just something to vibe to makes it much better to listen to because I know what to expect next time. I think this is a cool idea would have been to panning the clicking sound around 3:01 minutes back forth slowly. I feel like it already is panned but I can't quite tell. Maybe you could try that idea with a sub bass. Again I'm no expert on panning because I just learned it not to long ago but from my experience with it those are some ideas I have. When a slowly I mean like a slow travel of sound from one ear to the next smoothly. I know some songs do this and it it gives a good feeling imo. Again not a panning expert.

This is really good. I think you got the voice coming in very clearly without it taking away from anything behind it and although I can't understand anything it's still nice. Good job! Also you could also share with some advice you have for me on panning.

Man I remember playing the Epic Battle Fantasy series and enjoying the music a lot when I was a young lad. Those were the times… Loved the simplicity and catchiness of Phyrnna's music that made it easy to get into, and hearing this really just takes me back to those times. I can certainly say you did justice to this.

The vocal work on this is absolutely amazing. How everything is layered, the singing, and the use of autotune is a nice touch (2;40 omg :x), although I would’ve prefered a bit more autotune on the vocals and maybe bringing the formant up a bit. Mixing could probably be better, as stated before the reverb is a bit too much and a de-esser could be used to lower the s’s and t’s. The vocals could use a boost in the higher frequencies for added brightness, along with a dynamic EQ and a slight bell cut (?) at the mids and high mids to tame the resonance a bit. Maybe some added saturation and a bit more compression (?) to bring out the vocals more. I do think that some parts where the background vocals are by themselves could’ve been a bit louder, like 2;40 and the end where the choir comes together.

The instrumental is very solid and atmospheric. Really nailed those underwater vibes for me. Not much problems here besides maybe a little delay could be added to the pop effect heard in the verses and the clicking sound being a bit too loud at the final chorus, but that’s just me.

Overall, really nice atmospheric french pop song that does justice to a childhood favourite. :D

EDIT : lmaoo realised this is from bullet heaven 2, point still stands...

I love it, amazing vocals, sparse yet epic cinematic instrumental. Kinda gives me old school synthpop vibes in a lot of ways.
