What was the start of all this? When did the cogs of fate begin to turn? Perhaps it is impossible to grasp that answer now, From deep within the flow of time... But, for a certainty, back then, We loved so many, yet hated so much, We hurt others and were hurt ourselves... Yet even then we ran like the wind, Whilst our laughter echoed, Under cerulean skies... One of the best and most underrated RPGs of all time.
This song has always made my heart hurt in the most beautiful way. If you'd asked me five minutes ago if it would sound good when it FUCKING THRASHED, I would have called you an idiot. And yet, t'was I who was the idiot.
Years ago when i was in HS a group called the radical dreamers came to my school and played a bunch of folky music, but they covered this and got me and my friends excited, it was the best cover i ever heard....until this, Thank you!
In the beginning i thought "a melodic song like this is not a good choice" but you did justice to the beautiful melodic parts and shreaded the more powerful parts i give you 100% credit
Oh hell yeah. I love Chrono Cross's music, and Scars of Time/Time's Scar is one of the most badass opening songs I have ever listened to. As weird as Chrono Cross weird, songs like Time's Scar _really_ get you pumped up for the insane adventure you're about to take forth. So I'm getting pumped up for the upcoming Remaster next week! As someone who is super familiar with Time's Scar, at around the 2:40 mark, I was starting to get sad that the cover was about to end, since that's where the original song ends. You could imagine how happy I was that there was more remaining in the cover! This was incredibly well done! As someone else noted, those clean notes at the start send chills down your spine, much like how the opening of the original song sent chills of the song, and that solo was tight!
I don't normally care for communication or making comments because we'll a half the time people will not read them or just leave negative stuff but there is NOTHING 🚫 better than that cover. Stumbled across your platform searching metal covers of SNES games and saw your MMPR cover and this one too.... Like holy moly this was a masterpiece and something I aspire to now try and learn as a guitar player myself. Average TBH 😅 but damn I gotta lot of work to get that great. Awesome 😎🤘👍 cover
It is, but it's also clearly unfinished: most of the playable characters beyond the plot-relevant core cast are basically just concept art. Of course if they were all fleshed out the game would be absolutely megalomaniacal, but it does make me wonder: what if?
This needs more views, your arrangements always rock AND maintain that musical integrity of the original. It's not just adding drums and a distorted guitar. Keep up the great work, man!!
Jfc man, some of us played this game for the first time while young. This cover gonna give us old folk a heart attack from how absolutely mind-meltingly awesome it is >.
Very nice cover dude. Usual when I hear metal version covers the majority make me cringe especially when they forget what made the song good in the first place but not yours. You made it your own but kept the spirit of the original. It was a killer cover well done. I'm sure Yasunori Matsuda would agree.
Well, this certainly was a nice surprise to see in my feed. Thanks, bro. As crappy as life has been lately, I really needed something to put a smile on my face.
A spectacular adaptation of an already spectacular song. The original Time’s Scar is such a beautiful piece that it really set the bar intimidatingly high. Even so, not only did you go for it, you cleared that bar comfortably. 👏
Chrono Cross and Chrono Trigger in my opinion are the best VG music of all time. I just wish this song was like 10 minutes long, it's so good I just don't want it to end. So glad you finally covered this song. Here's hoping we hear Schala's theme or Corridors of time from Chrono Trigger soon :)
I got this game for my 15th birthday and it holds so much memory. I still play it every birthday and boot it up on occasion just to hear this song. You have truly brought me to tears, and I thank you for it.
Just relistened for the 100000th time hah! I love how in the beginning with the solo, you use hi hat accents to support the pick attack... amazing production on your covers man!
Let's gooo! My favorite VGM song ever and the one that actually made me fall in love with VGM in the first place. I remember starting up Chrono Cross but not actually pressing "start" to start playing. I would just sit there listening to this song on repeat over and over. Love your version of it, hell yeah, dude!
I've played through Chrono Cross dozens of times during my childhood; hundreds upon hundreds of hours. Unlocked all the summons, characters, and experienced their stories along with a gorgeous soundtrack that still sends goosebumps down my spine whenever I listen to it. Your cover brings back all those feelings of nostalgia with a badass metal twist; I love it! In short: I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite Time's Scar cover on the Citadel.
Good grief those opening/backing notes were so good. Classic Metallica sound! Fantastic cover man. This rocks. I just sat down and learned this on piano like 3 days ago so it was great to see this pop up.
This was fucking incredible. As one of the weird people who has always sworn Chrono Cross was a top tier game, this got me so pumped for the Switch release this Thursday. Absolutely sick solo toward the end too!
My God, this cover... it's a thing of utmost beauty. PS1/PS2 tracks just hit different, and breathing some new life into an already gorgeous track like this is just one of the many reasons I love checking your channel and seeing what you've cooked up. Bless you, Jack, and keep on rockin'!
Although I never played Chrono Cross, still its revival with the Radical Dreams Edition has excited me so bad I (as a huge Chrono Trigger fan) can't wait to play it! But all my excitement came up when I first listened to this song. So thank you so much for this splendid cover! I appreciate how profoundly you put all your heart and mind in your arrangements and performances.
A beautiful interpretation of possibly my favorite song of all time... Jesus, you ruled this, brother! Thank you for sharing this PS - That \m/ at the end sold me... if there were any justice in this world, you'd be more respected than you are... But regardless, I respect you! Keep digging, keep fighting... you'll find the recognition you deserve! I believe that! Because I accept and love you!
Seriously one of my all time favorite scores from one of my favorite games growing up. The part that surprised me is that you took something already amazing and and turned into something that resonates with my soul. Thank you for the art you give us, every one that i hear is a masterpiece, and the version i wish was actually in the game. If no one has picked you up to deliver a game's OST, i hope one day they do. It would be the best soundtrack in existence.
Gorgeous and crisp cover, added just enough of that metal flare to make it a true metal mix but kept the epic integrity of the original. Simply awesome man!

Couldn't agree more. This game and it's OST us something truly special
Possibly the greatest game song of all time masterfully metalized by the king of metal game covers. This made my day!
This song has always made my heart hurt in the most beautiful way. If you'd asked me five minutes ago if it would sound good when it FUCKING THRASHED, I would have called you an idiot. And yet, t'was I who was the idiot.
Beautiful cover, the clean tones at the beginning of this has gave me the biggest dose of goosebumps I could have ever experienced.
Yes, so cool. Reminded me of that classic Metallica sound.
@@WaterMusic34 dream theater as well.
@@SlyHikari03 love DT. Listened through a few albums today!
100th like your welcome
Just found this absolute gem here. Coincidentally, doing a playthrough of the game now...
Years ago when i was in HS a group called the radical dreamers came to my school and played a bunch of folky music, but they covered this and got me and my friends excited, it was the best cover i ever heard....until this, Thank you!
fun fact, radical dreamers is the name of the closing song to this game, and this song is the opening.
What if that was actually them bro 🤯 🧠 Mikki playing the song of unity 🎉
Jack covered Time’s Scar my life is complete 🤘
love me some yasunori mitsuda. Speaking of which, a xenosaga cover would be really cool. Battling KOS-MOS in particular could be a cool cover.
This made me cry in a nostalgic way
In the beginning i thought "a melodic song like this is not a good choice" but you did justice to the beautiful melodic parts and shreaded the more powerful parts i give you 100% credit
This song will ALWAYS make me break down.
0:58 i literally got chills at the transition 😱 as usual, a masterpiece
Insane how good this is.
HOLY FUCK... THIS IS WHAT THEY SHOULD USE ON THE REMASTER
Switch port and metal cover today? Winning.

what a theme!!!!

Chrono Cross is a masterpiece!
It's one of those games I wish I liked more than I do.
It is, but it's also clearly unfinished: most of the playable characters beyond the plot-relevant core cast are basically just concept art. Of course if they were all fleshed out the game would be absolutely megalomaniacal, but it does make me wonder: what if?
Nice! The remaster is out soon.
I must have listened to a hundred different arrangements of this song, but this one tops them all. Great job!
Here’s my first experience with the tune, sounds really good! Like always
I appreciate it that artists akknowledge this beautiful game with their beautiful music! Love it.
This needs more views, your arrangements always rock AND maintain that musical integrity of the original. It's not just adding drums and a distorted guitar.
Keep up the great work, man!!
Couldn't agree more.
This and Radical Dreamers are my favorite songs of all time. Thank you :)
Jfc man, some of us played this game for the first time while young. This cover gonna give us old folk a heart attack from how absolutely mind-meltingly awesome it is >.
That intro is beautifully haunting. Awesome rendition as always
One of the best songs ever for my favorite rpg of all time. 😎🤟
This is immaculate. You really did this song justice and brought it some amazing new life.
This would be a great outro track to the game in the credits!
It's an amazing intro to the game lol
Cannot go wrong with a Chrono Cross cover
Nostalgic Memories 🤩
It was super cool to hear this from start to finish during your production stream on twitch! This sounds so sick!
Very nice cover dude. Usual when I hear metal version covers the majority make me cringe especially when they forget what made the song good in the first place but not yours. You made it your own but kept the spirit of the original. It was a killer cover well done. I'm sure Yasunori Matsuda would agree.
EPICOOOO AMO ESTE TEMA Y TU VERSION EN METAL ESTA GENIAL!!! NUEVO SEGUIDOR
I preordered the remaster and it will be my first time experiencing Cross. After listening to your remix I’m excited to hear this song in-game
Well, this certainly was a nice surprise to see in my feed. Thanks, bro. As crappy as life has been lately, I really needed something to put a smile on my face.
Check out all the covers. And mega man x zero
Gave me goosebumps over feeling nostalgic.
I was 19 when I first played this game. I can still picture the book opening at the beginning and the quote it said. This Is Awesome!
A spectacular adaptation of an already spectacular song. The original Time’s Scar is such a beautiful piece that it really set the bar intimidatingly high. Even so, not only did you go for it, you cleared that bar comfortably. 👏
2:20 I love what you did with the transition here. It's one of my favorite bits of the original song and you did it well.
Brother that clean tone is so damn tasty.
This is absolutely gorgeous.
This theme is amazing in it's original state. Now it goes HARD.
Chrono Cross and Chrono Trigger in my opinion are the best VG music of all time. I just wish this song was like 10 minutes long, it's so good I just don't want it to end. So glad you finally covered this song. Here's hoping we hear Schala's theme or Corridors of time from Chrono Trigger soon :)
ANOTHA ONE 🔥
(Crying).....
That was
P R E F E C T I O N
I don't think you ever miss with these covers, Jack. Fantastic as always!
So much nostalgia!! I love working/working out to this channel
.keep on rocking! 🤘
Great cover of what might be my favorite song of all time. Thank you for this.
And to think I skipped this song for years by accident...damn them for hiding this masterpiece behind the skippable opening!! Loved this dude!!
Dude, such a great cover and era of playstation games, your playing is on-point as always!
Timeless song, brilliant cover. I'm really digging the transition from the intro, and the solo.
I got this game for my 15th birthday and it holds so much memory. I still play it every birthday and boot it up on occasion just to hear this song. You have truly brought me to tears, and I thank you for it.
Whenever I pick up a new instrument, this is the first song I learn to play on it.
How on earth did you manage to make your electric guitar sound like a violin?! It's unbelievable...
Also the solo at 3:14 gave me enormous goosebumps
Just relistened for the 100000th time hah! I love how in the beginning with the solo, you use hi hat accents to support the pick attack... amazing production on your covers man!
Such a weird feeling to see fresh chrono cross content on the regular after 20 years of being a lonely fanboy :P I'm glad ! Great cover mate
holy shit, that intro gave me the chills, this is such an awesome cover!
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G ty man
Can't wait for the remaster. Thanks soo much for this : )

This gave me chills. Thank you
This gave me the best nostalgia feels. Excellent job man, nothing else to be said other than that.
The sound is so good!
One of my all-time favorite game openings. As a fellow guitarist, this is so beautiful.
This is almost too good, it's beyond a masterpiece. You should be on tour all over the world
1:16 feeling some killer instinct vibes 😱
Dude idk how I missed this release but holy shit I know what I'm requesting every stream now!
this turned out pretty well, i saw you track some of the guitars onstream but not the drums
love the progression of the riffs man, WELL DONE
Dude you've outdone yourself. This is a new favorite! Bravo!
Man this brought back so many good memories. It's been so long since I heard this, but such a remarkable game
Good grief those opening/backing notes were so good. Classic Metallica sound! Fantastic cover man. This rocks.
I just sat down and learned this on piano like 3 days ago so it was great to see this pop up.

New fan. Thumbs-up'd your Lufia piece like years ago and now I'm flipping through your amazon page. Loving it.

Best game opening ever
I got chills and later on I got in the other dimension. Just came back to write You this message, see You!

Great cover from my fav game song (#2 is magus theme), it really takes you to the eternity, love it!!!!! It's the first I heard, already the best
Excellent cover! I have loved this song since it graced my ears all those years ago when the game first came out! Thank you!
I really like the fact, that You didn't overdo it on the heaviness part. Great job!
This is wicked awesome! One of my childhood faves!
