  • Take a trip back to 2014 GaMetal with this new revamped version of
    one of the greatest game songs of all time: Dancing Mad from Final Fantasy VI !
    I wanted to revisit one last old GaMetal song before we get back to new stuff. Dancing Mad has always been, and probably always will be, my absolutely favorite VG song. I first took a stab at this back in 2014, and that version was ok and all, but I feel like now I can do a much better job.
    I've made a lot of changes to this remix from my old 2014 one, and I love how it turned out.
    Enjoy!
    Tier 1 - 0:00
    Tier 2 - 2:50
    Tier 3 - 4:44
    Tier 4 - 6:26

    What I love about dancing mad is the amount of symbolism and tension this song and fight gives off. For those who don’t know the symbolism of the song,
    Phase 1 represents Kefka’s lust for death and destruction
    Phase 2 represents his insanity
    Phase 3 represents his ascension to godhood and even mocks Michelangelo’s pieta and takes a piece of Tocata and fugue in d minor
    Phase 4 is Kefka himself and it even cuts to a sad part to represent that Kefka is going to die for everything he did

      I always saw it as:
      T1: Rooted in ice, a wasteland that is and will be. Hell is the foundation of reality and existence.
      T2: Repetition, mindless ad nauseum. The mortal world is a cyclic mess that repeats its mistakes forever.
      T3: Ascension is Egoism. The only reason people strive to help others is for their own selfish desires.
      T4: *I Am* above all of this. I will destroy everything to free you all.

      It’s also a play on the divine comedy.
      Rising from the frozen and dark depths of a torturous hell, through the looping insanity of purgatory, and into the gates of heavenly paradise. And at the end, God tells Jacob what the meaning of life is.
      “Life... Hope... Dreams...
      Where’d they come from? And where’re they going?
      Such meaningless things... are mine to destroy!”

This special kind of genre / style (ff / bof a.s.o.) seem to direct touch our souls and take at least me sometimes to ecstasy like states. Only masterpieces like Dance Of Eternity, and the like, from Bands like Dreamtheater have the same effect on me.

    ""The world watched from below, gazing in fear, yet also a small, glimmering spark of hope. As they fought against Kefka, the deity himself attacked ruthlessly, attempting to end The Returners, once and for all, even if it meant felling the rest of the world a third time with them...especially if it meant that. Kefka's mortal childhood had not been the kindest to him, always being demanded around to learn the art of combat from a young age, rising the ranks until a general, prompting strategic warfare to be of aid as well. Everything the boy had been through, he hated. He never seemed to take any of it seriously, even as a Gestahlian general. General Leo, another man, was always much more popular among the mass population, and much more loved. Kefka had had a grudge against the man for years. But now, there was no need to even remember the names of all the billions of lives shed for this cause. As The Returners climbed the pieces of Kefka's demonic structure, they had no clue what to expect. Neither did Kefka, whom was placed into medical care by Cid all those years ago. A simple mental patient at the time, he had barely even heard of the term, "MagiTek", yet now it was being embedded into his DNA. Kefka quickly became less of a bitter man, and more overly eccentric, yet still insane to the point of men fearing his very name. Now the man was a living god, who would burn entire towns to the ground with the blink of an eye. The world was dead by his hand, and the only need for religion was prayer towards him. But would it last? Any of it? The Returners all had made it to the top, having destroyed horrendous monuments to the evil deeds Kefka had set into permanent stone. The entire band of warriors would not stop until Kefka was dead. Kefka, however, would not stop until everything else was dead. The entire world could hear the deafening blows from miles above; all praying to their new god for his very death. It was all up to them now. Could it be done? The War of the Magi had already led the world into a nearly irreversible apocalypse, and Kefka had already scorched the world since then to an even worse state. If The Returners couldn't kill Kefka...there would be no second chance. The small, spark of hope now seemed subatomic. Finally, somehow, the final blow had at last been dealt. Time itself seemed to cease. Kefka, the God of Magic, had finally fallen, and would now atone for his sins, his crimes against all living things. As the horrible entity fell from miles above the sky, he slowly blew away in the wind, as if simply a pile of dust. The world was no longer at risk of permanent ruin. Yet, what would become of Terra? Magic itself was vanishing swiftly from the universe; Espers, Magicite, even the remains of Kefka...would Terra succumb to these as well and lose her life to the sudden, swift change? There was no time to answer any of these questions as the tower was beginning to collapse. The Returners needed to escape quickly, lest they too be lost with the wreckage...""

And here I am... you’ve done justice to one of my favorite songs in the franchise and one of my favorite songs of all time. Not only have you stayed true to the arrangement, your notes are as accurate as I can remember. Not even their official live orchestrated performances are as close to the original snes arrangement. Even your drum beat is closer to the original than the black mages version and the official orchestrated versions. 👍

    The 2nd movement of Dancing Mad is my favorite 'cause i consider it the glue that holds the whole thing together, alot of the different versions i've heard try something weird with the 2nd movement and i forget half the time that Dancing Mad actually has lyrics.
    This right here though... Is full-on commitment, actually i half expected him to imitate the "Kefka Laugh" at the end as well lol.

    Fact: Though Nintendo Power (namely in their strategy guide for the game) suggested this being rematches with the 3 Gods/Goddesses/Statues that were done prior to the final battle, the common interpretation as to the inspiration behind the first 3 sections of the final battle are the 3 segments of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy: Inferno, Purgatorio (aka: Purgatory) and Paradiso (Paradise, aka; Heaven).
