I remember the first time I heard the song, it was night at a suburban area of my city, with the street lights on and a few cars passing around... This song *perfectly* matched the mood, so much so that I paused the simulation and sat down listening to the song! This only happens to me with awesome soundtracks (becoming aware of the song outside the game), and this was definitely one of them. Well done guys on the coverage. 👍👍
Its really special when a song impacts you so much that it takes you out of the game so that you can listen to it. I totally understand that feeling and completely agree with the fact that this cover version is great!
The marimba person looked/sounded like he was struggling, even with the slower tempo. Probably should've been two people on that part, or someone who was simply better at it.
Honestly, compared to the original, it sounds a lot messier, but at the same time it sounds a lot more human, with all the added noise of everyone working together to make a harmony. It's quite good.~
this is one of the most beautiful songs ever made, and the rest of the soundtrack is full of masterpieces as well. Huge respect for Jerry Martin and his work on SimCity and The Sims
Hi! And hello to Janne, nice that you uploaded these videos back in the day, excellent! I’m the sax player in this tune, and I have to say that I have very fond memories of this project. And I also love this game, and this music. As a young musician it was an honor to be part of this concert, to be playing these complex songs with a magnificent orchestra.
Beautiful live rendition. By the Bay was a track I listened so often its part of my neural makeup now. Jerry Martin orchestrated beautiful arrangements to build utopias to.
Please please please get everyone back together, cover the entire soundtrack, and go on tour. I would give....lots of money for these things haha it would be so amazing to see the whole thing performed
So cool. Great job to the band! Wish I was there to see it. glad also to see I’m not alone in liking the music from this game! The crazy amount of hours spent playing this amazing game with equally amazing music has attached itself to me permanently in my personal happy place.
O this is so geeky, I love it. Did you know that the sax solo (oboe on the original track, I think) is based on the first five chords of the piano in SIM Broadway (SimCity 3000)?
This is awesome ! This is my favorite music on SimCity 4 ! I've spent hours listening to this relaxing song and I'm astonished to find out that people made a cover of it and a really nice one, by the way ! Thanks a lot !
2022,....So Cool,...I still play my SimCity 4,......a 2014 edition, on a Mac. I like this version which sounds slower,....and less "canned". There are a dozen tunes that came with my game,.....Some I have switched off,....because they kind of drive me nuts.
This piece is such a banger-like every other absolutely Awesome pieces in one of the greatest games ever created. The nostalgia, just one after another, throat punches you. And shout out to one of the most incredible modding communities ever to walk the earth.
This was my childhood and I'm glad I found this wonderful cover! Thank you and well done you all. Would be so interesting listening to other Simcity 4 covers (like Metropolis or Oasis)!! 😊
So damn good! I see that this is just a part of a longer performance, did you cover more SimCity tracks or gaming music in general during the rest of it? Really curious!
Con una Ciudad en plena crisis económica, con contaminación del aire, con todas las calles atascadas y con alta criminalidad y derrepente salía este tama y era como... mmm vale (respira y exhala), relájate, piénsalo, arréglalo y continúa, . xD incluso uso este tema para estudiar 👨🏽💻
Wow ! It communicates strong vibes... really powerfull. I would like this kind of re-arrangement with Gabriel Knight's themes (Maybe because of the xylophone-saxophone combo). Oh but wait...you did it already :D
Great song, however it would be nice if the tempo was a bit faster and more consistent. The original is at 73 bpm, but this starts at 66 bpm but slows to 63 when more instruments come in.
Wish there were more covers of SimCity 4 tracks out there. SimCity 4 has a fantastic soundtrack. Wonderful job.
I've been searching on the internet for simcity 4 covers... I can't believe how few videos there actually are!
at least this is the best track
And SimCity 3000 too! Ohh I’m like 8yr late replying to this haha
@@justsayin7482 Also a top tier soundtrack. Thanks for reminding me of this cover by replying 8 years later lol
@@Anwawesome 😁
I can't believe this cover's been on RUclips for over 6 years and I'm only finding out about it just now!
Right?! This is amazing.
Same here.
gorgeous song!
lol, same.
I'm just finding it now!

Exactly!
Still brings tears to my eyes after all these years.
The only critique I’d give is it feels just a touch slower than it should be. Always great to see people appreciate this song.
if u put it 1.25x speed, sounds pretty much like the original
the marimba part is pretty hard, needs a lot of independance freom each hand
@@drago-teamdelires3075 Looks insanely hard with the 4 beaters in only two hands! I think they ought to have two people playing that part - poor guy.
@@C.I... it is common to play with 4 stick on a marimba

4:40 best part! What final fantasy? what pokemon or the legend of zelda? Ladies and gentlemen, Simcity 4!

This is amazing! The soundtrack for Sim city 4 is phenomenal.
The SimCity and Sims music was so incredibly emotive. Jerry Martin where are you?!
Never thought I'd hear an orchestra play any of the music outside the game.
Came here by a random search for "best SimCity soundtrack", and this gave me chills! Well done!
It is so fun to see comments after ten years, so thanks so much!
This is amazing. I listen to the Simcity 4 OST while playing Cities Skylines and this is the best song on the album.
Same haha
hooooooooooo !!! nice
Was still the best song on the simcity series !
machinaecity
This and many others too... Rush Hour was nice too...
Terrorkekx yes, for sure!
+machinaecity I like Wheels of Progress and Morning Commute more.
@@BigTyminElwin those two are my favorite
Rush Hour and Landfill are the best.
Beautiful live rendition. By the Bay was a track I listened so often its part of my neural makeup now. Jerry Martin orchestrated beautiful arrangements to build utopias to.

"I getting the team back together.." I should say when I knock on everyones door. And they'll be like "and you are..?"
So cool. Great job to the band! Wish I was there to see it. glad also to see I’m not alone in liking the music from this game! The crazy amount of hours spent playing this amazing game with equally amazing music has attached itself to me permanently in my personal happy place.
serious kudos to that oboiste . they pulled through great for this song
One of the best things I've ever seen on youtube. still gives me chills at 2:40
Hey! I have the gig only on entire show-format/DVD, not separate tracks. I try to tinker around a bit, see what I can come up with.
Hey, can you upload it to google drive or something? I really want it
Awesome. What a great track. One of the best parts of that great, great game. Back when games were products crafted with care and attention.
Wow sim city 4 cover
This is sick.
Omgsh this is just so precious! This is one of my favorite video game songs of all time!!!! Great job!!!
An excellent arrangement of this song.
nostalgia hit
This song is great ... it never leaves my mind ❤❤❤
Been listening to this today while at work, the soundtrack for 3 and 4 are just sooooo amazing!
My favorite song from SimCity 4! It's so soothing and beautiful 🤩
my favorite music on SimCity 4!
What a beautiful and addigame. I'm still have it.
The sax was awesome. Very clean sound
O this is so geeky, I love it. Did you know that the sax solo (oboe on the original track, I think) is based on the first five chords of the piano in SIM Broadway (SimCity 3000)?
simply amazing.
Fantastic. This deserves way more views !
This is awesome ! This is my favorite music on SimCity 4 ! I've spent hours listening to this relaxing song and I'm astonished to find out that people made a cover of it and a really nice one, by the way ! Thanks a lot !
i often play this game since 2003 till now
SimCity 4 is still the best city building game and this is one of the best music/songs of the series, along with Epicenter and Morning Commute.

wow, this track as well...my favorite from sincity4..just fantastic
main guy could be better at some parts but still great all together

Very nicely done! Very true to the original as well :)
Beautiful work.

Amazing cover of the best song on that soundtrack
Believe me this is not song this is music
simplemente alucinante
Beautiful song.
can you imagine epicenter performed like this? would be absolutely insane
It is a old nostalgia.....
Omg! Wonderful
fantastic rendition
I love it.
nostalgia
@FMFvideos I agree. SimCity has some veeery hypnotic tunes.
So amazing!
Amazing...
this hit hard
Isso é deveras nostálgico. Excelente
So damn good! I see that this is just a part of a longer performance, did you cover more SimCity tracks or gaming music in general during the rest of it? Really curious!
Never mind, just saw your channel ;)
;) @@voyagerjs
fantastic!
Con una Ciudad en plena crisis económica, con contaminación del aire, con todas las calles atascadas y con alta criminalidad y derrepente salía este tama y era como... mmm vale (respira y exhala), relájate, piénsalo, arréglalo y continúa, . xD incluso uso este tema para estudiar 👨🏽💻
love it
wow! such amazing!
Wow ! It communicates strong vibes... really powerfull. I would like this kind of re-arrangement with Gabriel Knight's themes (Maybe because of the xylophone-saxophone combo). Oh but wait...you did it already :D
simcity 4 is the best of all series obviously.
Awesome
Amazing guys.
you guys should cover all simcity songs, I mean, from sc1 to sc4
Beautiful! :')
FEELS
Oh wow, that was beautiful guys, nice going :)
Amazing
Astonishing!
1.25x speed is what you want
Great song, however it would be nice if the tempo was a bit faster and more consistent. The original is at 73 bpm, but this starts at 66 bpm but slows to 63 when more instruments come in.
Looks like RUclips supports "custom" for speeding up and slowing down videos now. 1.10x sounds great for this to correct the bpm.
模擬城市4遊戲中的背景音樂，叫( By the Bay )是市區中的音樂。另外，自然地質音樂近似。
I wish they would do a remake game of Simcity 4 Deluxe Special Edition, but they would have to keep the classic music that we love so much.
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love u, really, greetings from Argentina. Do yo have more of these?
awesome
It sounds like a sick prog rock song
What a fucking groove
thats cool af
When are you touring
Great perfomance! Did you guys also cover Rush Hour and Bohieman Street Jam? If so where can we see it? Simply amazing!
No we did not, unfortunately.
Hey this is SimCiTy 4
best enjoyed on 1.25x playback speed to match the original tempo
It was the choice of the mallet player, as I remember, to start so slow. To my ear the normal sounds now too fast 😁
@@Bassfuke I can see why, he has to play that complex melody the entire song physically where they probably used an electronic in the source lol
@@Bassfuke it still sounds fantastic either way and glad sc4 music was covered live :)
♥
Cool
muito foda!
i feel like this got used as loading music for wurm online
Is there any way I could get the music or score for this?
watch this in 2024
I would pay top dollar to listen to that IRL
From when we, late millenials, could produce our own serotonin dopamin etc
Can I find Deserted live somewhere?
1.25 velocidade fica perfect.
