    When I posted about redoing old videos, someone suggested to redo Lilium.
    I thought, yeah that's a good idea. It's one of the absolute best classic anime OP, anime boomers will remember it.
    Then the sadness flooded back... memories from the anime. And I thought, yes, this is the purpose of music.

      Man you're not the only one who got flooded with memories, this music reminds me of the old time, when I was still a kid, that started recently anime, everything back then was so simple and easy... anyway awesome piece of art Theishter, keep up the good work

      Would love to hear it on spotify so I can listen it on my HiFi setup!

      Never thought i'd end up being an anime boomer... But now that I think of it: the anime I started with back in ~2006 (Haruhi Suzumiya, Elfenlied...), are now as ancient to new weebs, as the first run of Sailor Moon was ancient to me back then... Damn, I feel old, thankyouverymuch

      This Op demonstrates that an Op dont need to be a full rock/Pop J song to be Awesome, even Gregorian Choir like this can be an Incredible Opening theme.

    Thank you so much for your wonderful performance.

  • @LouisR56
    @LouisR56 4 года назад +73

    This opening is clearly made for your arranging and playing style, the Rach-like LH arpeggios and the repeated LH chords in the last chorus give to the cover that romantic (well, post-romantic actually but let's say it works the same lol) and grandiose yet heart-wrenching feeling. That remake was a good idea, it sounds even better than the first one!

    Bro.. you don't even know how much this redo means to me. Over ten years ago (I was about 12 years old) I stumbled upon your channel and downloaded your transcription of Lilium but I was too bad to learn it at that time. Today I found your old printed out version of this in my folders and went to your channel to be suprised by THIS EPIC MASTERPIECE. You've made it even harder! But i think I'll try to learn your old version and see if I've gotten any better. Thank you, it just motivated me to try again!

    The amount of nostalgia this song contains is unreal. This was the first song/video of yours I discovered way back when I was new to anime in general; it completely changed everything for me. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to express just how much your cover of it meant to me at the time, but I truly am grateful for what your cover did for me. This “new” version was phenomenal. Thank you ishter 🙏

  • @crystellawu
    @crystellawu 4 года назад +17

    This cover makes me so sad and I want to cry even if I haven't watched the anime. It feels as if the whole story is embodied in the piece. This could almost pass as a classical romantic piece.

    I LOVE the changes you make to your original arrangment.
    Like, from 3:20 until the end there's tons of variations on the main theme which are pretty damn entertaining to listen to.
    3:44 That "classical"-esque ending tho.

    Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam,
    Et lingua eius loquetur indicium.
    Beatus vir qui suffert tentationem,
    Quoniqm cum probates fuerit accipient coronam vitae.
    Kyrie, fons bonitatis.
    Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison.
    O quam sancta, quam serena,
    Quam benigma, quam amoena esse Virgo creditur.
    O quam sancta, quam serena,
    Quam benigma, quam amoena,
    O castitatis lilium.

    Kyrie, fons bonitatis.
    Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison.
    O quam sancta, quam serena,
    Quam benigma, quam amoena,
    O castitatis lilium.
    The mouth of the Just shall meditate wisdom,
    And His tongue shall declare judgment.
    Blessed is he who endureth temptation,
    For once he hath been tested, he shall receive the crown of life.
    Oh Lord, Fountain of Holiness,
    Oh Lord, Fire Divine, have mercy.
    Oh how holy, how serene,
    How generous, how pleasant this Virgin who believeth.
    Oh how holy, how serene,
    How generous, how pleasant,
    Oh Pure Lily.
    [Instrumental]
    Oh Lord, Fountain of Holiness,
    Oh Lord, Fire Divine, have mercy.

    @botagasss 4 года назад +1

    It might be just me, but your first Lilium arrangement in 2011 was much more emotional and interesting for me, which I am going to learn. In fact, it would be lovely to combine the best of the two worlds. Either way, both of your arrangements are lovely in their own respective ways. Amazing as always, thank you once again, this is one of the most favorite pieces from you for me.

  • @BoughtByTheBlood
    @BoughtByTheBlood 4 года назад +1

    This song is so dark, discordant, & jarring! It's beautifully ugly & you captured it PERFECTLY!!
    And I absolutely LOVE how you showed scenes from the anime in the background all fuzzy & distorted like that. It really brought the feel of the series to the forefront. Great job, my man! Do the same things with Sparkle coming up that you did here & you'll have me curled up in a fetal position wailing my eyes out!
    CAN NOT WAIT!!

    • @divaile
      @divaile 4 года назад +102

      It's potentially a great show. Why potentially, you may ask.
      Well, Elfen Lied is a very philosophical and a symbolic series. It's exceedingly open to interpretation, but once you wrap your head around the general idea, the message and symbolism itself become highly intriguing and beautiful.
      Is it messed up? It does have some straight up gore content, and if taken out of context, it can definitely seem excessive. However, the violence is also a part of its symbolism - an essential part, if I were to say.
      A very interesting show, there are several videos explaining the symbolism and philosophy so if you're interested, I really recommend reading into it a little more.

    I've watched Elfin Lied back in 2006, and it was ok, a show that I barely remember EXCEPT this melody... This it feels majestic, and up until this day I still listen to it and it still gives me a lot of emotions. This cover has successfully conveyed those feelings, so good job!

    Even tho I understand that Elfenlied is a kind of an over the top edgefiesta, it still holds a very special place in my heart ... since it was the first non-mainstream anime ive watched back in ~2005/2006. It showed me that there is more to anime than your average kid-oriented shounen-formula.
    And this is an incredible interpretation, bravo!

  • @elindis

    Such a powerful melody that contains all traces of happiness sadness, resentment, and anger combine all one wrath-woven energy that expresses beyond human condition and once the song suddenly ends it dies out silently like a dying inferior flame as rain started to poor over the scenery. How frustrating it is of not having a second season of Elfen Lied, leaving a tiny gapping hole in everyone hearts, but now forever more, once more the music box closes and we move on.

    The best performance I've ever heard (10/Dic/2020), really my friend, a lot of feelings on your fingers. I listened the other performances and there are not bad, obviously are a lot of talent, but! I cannot feel the same sensation as I listen to this. You found the right moments of the pauses that make music more sentimental and "pure", besides, you don't get too far from the original sound, personally I hate when the performance is very far from the original, anyways, I'm not an expert. ¡Congratulations!

    Songs like these make me wonder what the great classical composers would think about them. I binged this show back in 2013 one night when I had insomnia. It was my first true anime.

    This was a great idea. You can see the improvement by how much smoother the sections with increased tempo sound in comparison to your original video.
