I took warbird, made it major key, and found it funny so I added some extra stuff in there. There’s literally nothing else to say, so just enjoy.
Shellshocked is now pleasantly surprised.
Those we lost is now those we gained.
Trench warfare is now the Christmas truce.
Dance of the war-torn children is now just dance of the children.
Victory is still victory... but has been entirely reharmonized manually because switching keys destroyed it completely since it was honestly really tonally ambiguous in the original.
And aftermath has now taken a different connotation.
I could only imagine how annoying this would have been to manually transcribe. Not going to lie, this made me laugh way harder than it should have. Sounded especially odd since I've recently been binge listening to the original, so the sound of it has just been ingrained into my head.
I'm not going to lie though, the more I listen to it, the more I like it in a sort of sadistic way. The drums 01:57 hit me like a mk1 tank. It's so cursed It's physically hurting me xD.
I can tell you had way too much fun with this lmao. 03:31 sounds so cheery for what the original represented lol. Plot twist there is no war and all the children are happily playing together. To be honest it sounds like Musescore did an april fools joke on you by making the brass die a slow and painful death in all of the loud parts lol.
The harp at the end was also a nice little touch. I appreciate how you took the time to rename all of the sections of the song lol.
I found this so funny that I came up with a few jokes.
How old COD represented war: Warbird
How new COD games represent war: Peacebird
How WW1 was described to potential enlistees: Peacebird
How that great adventure turned out: Warbird
10/10 I am so sad I didn't do anything for april fools.

Yeah so musescore has a feature that allows you to select all notes with a specific note name. So I selected all the Cs, Fs, and Gs and brought them up a half step. Then I had to go through and fix some stuff that was ruined by that change and decided to just keep adding and changing and now we have this.
I love your jokes, especially the COD one because it’s just true. Hardly even feels like a war game anymore.
The drums were one of my favorite additions. It contrasted so much with the original that I just had to do it. And yes you should’ve done something for April fools lmao imagine just another crime 3 and it’s just a complete mess
