16 is such an awesome character. His love for nature and life is what makes him such a great memorable character. His time was short lived but his impact lasted forever. He's a character that dies and stays dead thats what makes his character tragic but beautiful. The remake was very well done. 👍
This is awesome! I have a drum transcription I did on paper of these drums just so I could understand the rhythm better. Helped me edit the track better! Classic Mike Smith drums
Thanks Scott! Yeah I couldn’t follow the pattern at all to begin with, even after recreating it lol it feels like a groovy, live drum solo ;) he sure knew how to write em. That’s so cool that you edited the track, I love hearing about how you guys worked!
Android 16 is a nice character, he really cherished life unlike the other androids, he was the one who also made Gohan go ssj2, what a chad. Nice remake!
The sentimentality I felt from this is astounding. It's such a wonderful way of reimagining it and it sounds fantastic; the song holds the core of the original, with the level reminiscence only you could pull off while making this version feel like your own. And the tonal shift at 2:20 just drove me over the end and that familiar laugh at 2:38 really held the whole thing together. You really know how to embody the spirit of the OG DBZ Dub tracks that made me love the series when I was younger. Another amazing job, GLADIUS, keep up the good work my friend!!
Good to hear from you again Danny! I’m happy it resonated with you in this way! This is always been a underrated track for me, 16 is apart of one of the most important moments in DBZ. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and thoughtful comments ☺️
@@GladiusThemes I think it really fits, especially when you remember 16 understood he may have been walking to his doom when he decided to take on Cell, but it was worth it to protect life he came to understand.
Thank you. I liked that you mentioned curiosity and wonder, I imagine that 16 is seeing the world for the first time and is completely captivated by the beauty of nature, the planet, he’s almost like a little kid but equipped with strength and wisdom
This is pure beauty. One little thing I noticed bro is that distinct bounciness you impart with these remakes. I’ll get a time stamp… 2:24 it’s cool 🙂 1:46 and just when it seems like it’s over it re-ignites and gets even better.
Bounciness 😄 That's a fun way to describe it! I know what you mean, I pay special attention to way things "groove" in my music. It's taken me my whole musical career to figure out how to bring that forth in a way that when you listen to the music, it just makes you wanna bounce/move automatically. Very cool that you noticed and pointed that out :)
Well bro, it does just that, whenever I listen to these remakes my head moves in some pretty awesome ways and I make some pretty epic facial expressions haha. 👍🏼
“16….you loved life,you gave everything to protect it,and you weren’t just an android….I let you die…..I can’t do that! I won’t watch anymore….I…I feel it slipping!….”
Added this to my playlist. Thanks Gladius. One of the comments mentioned futuristic and tribal - agreed. Loved the way you added the sound of his power running out at the end of the track. Appreciate the work you do!
"Just... let it go.” The very last words hits me after 5 years of depression and alcoholic rage. I will start training to pursue an MMA career and walk the path of redemption.
This one is always so good to come back to. Really fun energy in it, something really special and beautiful. Wonderful job giving this song the cover it deserved!
This came out lovely! The info you put in the description added in so much more depth and enhanced my perception of the song. I never considered how well the song actually matches 16, and it grants me a new level of appreciation for this track! What a wonderful recreation!
Yeah I had a similar feeling while making it! I didn’t realise how appropriate and fitting it was for 16, just makes me appreciate Mike Smith even more :)
Didn't quite expect the violin additions, and I thought the harp VST could have used a bit more presence, but still a good one. Thanks for making it, and that description is a cool perspective.
Yeah I let the harp sit back more in my version, it only plays a couple times in the original so I decided to focus more on string section elements to fit with my other covers :) you’re welcome, glad you liked it
@@GladiusThemes Hai! Would you ever do like your versions of these themes x another series... Like I think a slight Terminator theme synth would go well with this, and obviously we know 16 was a bit of a omage to T2.
@@Shiyoken Yea, I feel that the Faulconer guys let the Terminator references slip past them when they were doing the show, whereas Yamamoto even in like 1992 caught on to that aspect and made a track (Virtual Triangle) that riffs on Terminator 2 in his usual fashion :p
This is another good one that flys under the radar. Speaking of that was kinda hoping you by any chance had the krillin powers up theme on your to do list 🤞
Ahhh I just tested it and you’re right! That’s so awesome :) feels like a nice transition. They are both in the same key so it works well, which is crazy cos they’re from different soundtracks!
A remake of one of THE best songs in all of Dragonball? Oh hell fucking yes. I could never understand how this song goes so unnoticed and underrated compared to others in the funi soundtrack.
YES! It’s one of those tracks that is more subtle, which might be why it’s less noticed, but thats part of what makes it so great :) It really creates an atmosphere.
Would you consider doing any of these themes, or all of them!? Haha *Jirens theme *Killer instinct main theme or character select theme. Feel like you would make them sound sooo dope 🔥
Amazing song mate to my favourite android I never understood why at the end of cell saga when they summoned shenron krillin wasted a second wish on removing the bombs from the androids even tho he knew bulma was capable of removing them they should of wished android 16 back instead like goku did with eighter In dragonball I could definitely picture gohan being good friends with him it would of been an interesting concept
@@GladiusThemes now that I think about tho when they used the first to wish all of cells victims back to life shouldn't 16 of come back then android 17 did bit of a plot hole there never really thought of it
@@deancrawley2406 Maybe there's some weird loophole for 100% machines? One that wouldn't apply to 17 or 18. But we do know that Kaio refused to be brought back to life for one.
@@gespenst1329 goku was able to wish eighter back to life in dragon ball and he was 100 percent android I think it's another 1 of them situations where akira toriyama didn't really think it best bringing him back because he served his purpose in helping gohan unlock ssj2 shame tho great character in my opinion
Hah that’s cool 😎 as it so happens I’m preparing to release my whole DBZ Faulconer productions collection on Spotify soon (most of them are already on my RUclips) and will probably need to give it a name…
That’s true! That’s partly because the drum rhythm is very similar if not the same, and the voice/synth sound plays the same notes too I believe. Very cool :)
@@GladiusThemesyes, you’re right. They share the same motiff. To be honest, I actually prefer “Nail’s Gift” version over the later “Android 16” theme since the former variations sounds more mystical and emotional imo. I would love to see you take a crack at that one day!
I will be making a Patreon where all my music and more will be available in the future! But I still have quite a bit of planning to do for it til then. Hang in there my friend!
One of the most overlooked songs in DBZ, nobody ever brings up how good this theme is when talking about what made the Faulconer track awesome.
It’s definitely different from the rest but it still feels like it’s from the dbz world 👍
it shows the Peacefulness of Android 16's Character
To me it has always sounded like nails gift theme.
@@jimtally6006facts so similar
Such a phenomenal remix!!!!! 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
My man 16 deserves more love than he gets.
Wasn't here for long but he was one of my favorite characters.
He sure does 💜
@@MIBxSpartan definitely left such an impact on the series
This character didn't win any battles in dbz but still got our hearts.
Man is putting it nicely.
16 is such an awesome character. His love for nature and life is what makes him such a great memorable character. His time was short lived but his impact lasted forever. He's a character that dies and stays dead thats what makes his character tragic but beautiful. The remake was very well done. 👍
Very well said 🙏 thank you!
One of the most slept on soundtracks of the entire series, and my personal favorite. Good to see it getting some love.

His theme is so peaceful. Listening to it honestly makes me reflect and think
That’s a good thing :) We could all take more time to reflect
Android 16 is a nice character, he really cherished life unlike the other androids, he was the one who also made Gohan go ssj2, what a chad. Nice remake!
A good character indeed :)
@HeyItsmeGoku827 I can't remember either android 17 or android 18 having killed any animals or people who didn't attack them first.
The sentimentality I felt from this is astounding. It's such a wonderful way of reimagining it and it sounds fantastic; the song holds the core of the original, with the level reminiscence only you could pull off while making this version feel like your own.

Weird how tribal it sounded but knowing 16 personality and his love for nature, its works extremely well. Nice job.
That’s a good observation- as I was making it, it took me by surprise but then when I thought about it more it made sense :) thank you 🙏
@@GladiusThemes I think it really fits, especially when you remember 16 understood he may have been walking to his doom when he decided to take on Cell, but it was worth it to protect life he came to understand.
Actual 10/10. Perfect. Recapturing that sense of curiosity and wonder while also giving it its own unique identity.
Thank you. I liked that you mentioned curiosity and wonder, I imagine that 16 is seeing the world for the first time and is completely captivated by the beauty of nature, the planet, he’s almost like a little kid but equipped with strength and wisdom

Yeah definitely overseen! Thanks 🙏
“16….you loved life,you gave everything to protect it,and you weren’t just an android….I let you die…..I can’t do that! I won’t watch anymore….I…I feel it slipping!….”
😢
I do actually prefer the original japanese version of this scene. It had no dialogue whatsoever. You could read it on his expression alone.
Added this to my playlist. Thanks Gladius. One of the comments mentioned futuristic and tribal - agreed. Loved the way you added the sound of his power running out at the end of the track. Appreciate the work you do!
You’re welcome my friend! Yeah I didn’t realise how much it felt like that until recreating it. Happy to make it on to your playlist ☺️ thanks!
"Just... let it go.”
The very last words hits me after 5 years of depression and alcoholic rage. I will start training to pursue an MMA career and walk the path of redemption.
You made this so good so fast. Super cool
☺️ I kept it pretty faithful to the original but I’m happy with where I took it!
Damn this cover is amazing good job love your work❤
Thank you man, it’s such a cool, unique track :) thanks for the support! 💜
@@GladiusThemes it is you deserve the support I already subbed you I’m looking forward for more dragon ball covers thank you! 🙏🏼 ❤️
Bangers after bangers Gladius, keep it up!
Keeping it up for sure!! Thank u my friend
This one is always so good to come back to. Really fun energy in it, something really special and beautiful. Wonderful job giving this song the cover it deserved!
It is really special :) different from the rest of the DBZ music. Thank you!
So.paceful theme, just brought me a very paceful mind...
✌️☺️

Thank you btw ☺️ appreciate you reading my description too
Finally. I've always wanted a cover of this song. Keep up the great work bro.
I’m glad I could deliver!! Will do my friend :) thanks 👊

@@GladiusThemesNo problem.
BTW, I realize that the track as a concept would benefit from the inclusion of wind chimes.
Nail's song is really similar! Beautiful rendition!
You’re right, Nails Gift is similar. I noticed that when I started making it :) it’s made by Mike Smith too. I kinda got them confused at times 😅
@@GladiusThemes Hai!

Awesome.
Straight fire 🔥

really well done.
Thank you very much ☺️
Fucking love it man, thank you. ❤
Really really loved the symphonic violin 😊 0:55
You’re incredibly welcome man 💜☺️
One of my favorite Themes 😊
Mine too :)
@@GladiusThemes I'm so glad 💙😊
This is another good one that flys under the radar. Speaking of that was kinda hoping you by any chance had the krillin powers up theme on your to do list 🤞
I agree! I don’t have that one on my list- but it’s certainly an underrated track! I’ll have to go listen again
Beautiful track, 16 always looked like Arnold swartzenegger with a Mohawk to me 😅
Thank you 🙏 hah yeah I thought that too
Guess that's the Terminator influence at work.
I just realized that this cover’s ending kinda syncs with the beginning of his day of Fate cover 💀
Ahhh I just tested it and you’re right! That’s so awesome :) feels like a nice transition. They are both in the same key so it works well, which is crazy cos they’re from different soundtracks!
@@GladiusThemes16 also features in the scene just before that song comes on, so it could work :p
Very sad how once 16 died he ceased to be he did not go to the afterlife as he had no soul

Who votes for a tapion theme remake i was curious to see what could happen
It’s not on my list, but If I get a couple more requests to make Tapions Theme I’ll do it 😉
I need a 1hr loop of this asap. I could accomplish so much.
Yo thus is smooth i love the futuristic type music it has straight 🔥 are you gonna still do the rock the dragon music
Thank you man I was really surprised by how it came out, so groovy. I will do an orchestral/rock version of rock the dragon at some point ;)
If I ever make a Warforge Druid in Dnd, this is the theme I’m using for them.
Would you consider doing any of these themes, or all of them!? Haha
*Jirens theme
*Killer instinct main theme or character select theme.
Feel like you would make them sound sooo dope 🔥
I might possibly do Jirens Theme as it’s requested a bit :) I’m making my way thru Z first before I get to Super
@GladiusThemes hell yea bro, either way i listen to all ur dbz track. Thank you for making them brotha 🔥🔥

Could you remake Vegito theme? I realised you never made it yet
Yes It’s on my list for the future :)

Gladius, I think we need a name for such good reboot music. How about...Dragon Ball Music: The RemixeZ...ah! See what I did there? Z instead of S...
Hah that’s cool 😎 as it so happens I’m preparing to release my whole DBZ Faulconer productions collection on Spotify soon (most of them are already on my RUclips) and will probably need to give it a name…
Thoughts have changed a bit on this theme… it’s cool enough for that one side of 16, but it totally misses his status as a Terminator stand-in :p
This song and nail's theme sound so similar. :)
also, i wish this wasn't one of the few characters that died in the series :(
That’s true! That’s partly because the drum rhythm is very similar if not the same, and the voice/synth sound plays the same notes too I believe. Very cool :)
