Recollections (Arc the Lad 2 cover)
Something about this song made me think of the second movement of Beethoven's third symphony, so I leaned into that in this pretty straightforward cover.

I didn't do much compositionally with this cover - it's such a sparse theme (as much of Metroid's music is), so the music that's there is pretty much perfect - because it has to be. There's nowhere for the music to hide behind any fancy orchestration.

    This is a great idea! The only thing I think I could suggest is looking into soundfonts! Loads of people have complied sound fonts from old snes games for people to use in their music, maybe it would be cool to use the same instruments from the games to make it authentic? There's plenty of videos talking about how you can use soundfonts with Logic Pro, and "Musical Artefacts" is a great website for finding soundfonts (although sometimes it can be hard to find what you're looking for). As for suggestions, "Culex" from Super Mario RPG always felt to me like an homage to the final fantasy games, so that might be an interesting combination to work with.

    Excellent review! Unsure why the other commenters are so hung up calling out things that specifically bothered you and could potentially bother others. FWIW I played Lunar when I was 12 to 13 so it’s not something I tend to think about as much since the game has been with me for a long time. It’s good to hear folks talk about this as I like to reexamine my media from different angles. Can’t wait for Lunar 2!

    Having originally played the SCD version back in 92, and later the Complete version on PS, I actually prefer the SCD version, but that could be 12 year old me having fallen in love with these characters at the perfect age to feel heavy nostalgia about those original hours I spent with them. Looking back as an adult, I see the games flaws, but I can't help myself, I still love it dearly. It also opened me up to the entire genre of JRPGs, an obsession I would maintain many years and games later.

    • @KaiMangaKnight
      @KaiMangaKnight 3 месяца назад

      It was also a cooncidence that I've been playing and talking about Lunar games a few weeks or days before the announcement. That's why my bro told me to just watch the State of Play. I have to borrow a Lunar Legend cartridge from a cousin because he said that I was being "bias and unfair" with how I criticized the game on GBA. In the end, I've enjoyed it and finished it. Replaying the PS1 version and also trying to finish the PSP version (since I've been maintaining my PSP). Sadly I don't have the Sega CD version so my cousin told me to just use emulator before buying. And he has a point, cos the Sega CD version is a lot harder to play compare to the later remakes. Well, I've been playing different versions of Lunar Silver Star before the announcement because I don't want the series to be forgotten. But after the announcement, I'm happy that Game Arts and Gungho cared so much to release the Remastered Collection. Eternal Blue is actually my favorite. And by the way, Tempest is called Temujin or Temjin in the Japanese version. So I ended up giving him the nickname Khan when playing the Japanese version of Lunar. Because in History, Genghis Khan's birth name was Temujin before he became The Conqueror.

    • @ILoveThisBlank
      @ILoveThisBlank 6 месяцев назад

      The three most common root movements do also apply to minor keys! The only thing that will be different will be the qualities of the chords. By rule of the octave, do you mean going up a fourth instead of going down a fifth? If so, yes, that does apply here. In Classical music, basses can make wide leaps pretty easily, so leaping up a sixth instead of down a third is fine, but leaping down a seventh instead of going up a step is usually less common. You tend to want to think of everything as if it's going to be sung, sort of for safety's sake, because if a voice can do it, most instruments should be able to do it.

    Hi! I was just telling a friend that I think Jimmy Eat World's "Work" is in 8/4, not 4/4, and he told me to look up the concept of hypermeter. Which, admittedly, with my very basic music theory education, I'd never touched on. The potential phrase that I'm looking at in this case is the drums in the verses. That thick "pah, pah, pah" in the snare at the end of the drum lick strikes me as being a "6, 7, 8," not a "2, 3, 4." Or is this a case of hypermeter instead? Thoughts from anyone? I know, not as groundbreaking a song as the examples in this video, but still. :)

    • @thegirlnextdork
      @thegirlnextdork 7 месяцев назад

      Okay, I think I've got one. "Hoppípolla" by Sigur Rós. I feel like it has a hypermeter of 4 most of the time, but then the occasional 3? The common thread I feel is in these odd-numbered hypermeter songs is that they have this feeling of "rambling on," like my brain can't neatly organize it until I really sit and listen.

    • @ILoveThisBlank
      @ILoveThisBlank 7 месяцев назад

      @@thegirlnextdork Thanks for your comments! I don't know either of those songs specifically, but I know both bands pretty well. When it comes to 8/4 vs. 4/4: It's more likely that it is 4/4, just the drum pattern is in a two-measure pattern. But even if it is in 8/4 (which is possible), it would likely not change the hypermeter at all - it could still be a standard 4 in both cases. As for your point about odd-numbered hypermeter feeling like they're rambling on, I hadn't thought of it that way before, but I like it! I personally feel it more as abrupt stops before the full thought is finished, but it makes sense to me that you'd hear it as rambling, because the ending is less satisfying. Great insight!

    The only best mario that really got my interested was Super mario bros 3. But Super mario world was awsome too play but later on found myself going back too sonic the hedgehog games

      @ILoveThisBlank 7 месяцев назад

      That's interesting! I, personally, find that Sonic games don't hold my interest for long, but I didn't grow up playing Sonic games. I wonder if it would be different if I played more of Sonic than I did Mario!

      Most of all of our friends were Nintendo kids - I think we each only had one or two friends with a Genesis! It is a great console, though.

    Excellent video. I've catalogued quite a few songs with atypical hypermeters (as you called them) using a playlist. If that interests you: ruclips.net/p/PL_jVEBcU3LpAYzATGf19jes_WLKOAeQ25&si=Kie5IO1XwrGSF3B- I've also included your examples and credited you in the description :) I've gotten aware of this concept quite some time ago but only recently thought it might have a term, so thanks.

      If I write it in the comments here, people can probably avoid the hint of a spoiler: “It appears… I’ve chosen to be a woman… rather than commander of… the Liberation Army.” My issue is equating saving a child with being a woman and with not being a good leader. I'd hope that a good leader of any gender would try to save a child!
