Yeah, Cherry Tree Bridge is pretty lovely. Has some very nice elements to it. (Listening to the (mixedly received) Super Arrange as well, I got reminded of Plaid a bit there )
I think I like the Untold arrangement best. (A pity they didn't go for the 2nd loop, or another extended form there.)
Add some sleigh bells and you've got an X-mas tune right there! :)
Kinda wish some tunes would get picked up by some (of the better) cover artists.. Perhaps I should drop some request(s) ;)
(Now, someone else got something to add here? :hannibal:)
@ren: thanks for all your posts Sorry for not getting back to you earlier, but it ain't xmas holiday time for me just yet.
Nice observation about Cherry Tree Bridge: it's indeed very xmas like. You also got me addicted to these Louis Cole videos and his songs are catchy as hell. So who knows.
My current hot-list in random order is (I might be able to cover 1, 2 or even 3 ... depending on complexity, I guess):
- Some Ys 8 song (potentially the one I referred to)
- EO: Cherry Tree Bridge
- EO: Withered Forest
- K7: Rave On
- K7: First Ending/Staff Scroll
That's cool
Since you mentioned you play the piano (and perhaps even more instruments?), have you (ever) considered doing a tune combining MSX sound & real instruments (and then making a nice YT video of it) ?
Personally, I'd totally dig that. (And as you already know how to play Cherry Tree Bridge... ;-))
I'll check out those other tunes you mention as well. Any other Ys VIII songs you can recommend?
Haha, I def. like to spread the F it up video around (and see if it catches on )
I reckon you've come across the Knower (Live Band Sesh) stuff as well? Spotted some video easter eggs already? (I won't spoil anything yet (some are pretty well hidden)
)
Btw: this.
Xmas holidays are over and I've not been able to finish any songs (too lazy? guess so...).
You'll be able to preview the first song I've been working on here, but alas - guess I have to finish it properly during some later date.
State of this song is: "first pass (trying to find all the notes by ear), no proper polish yet (make it sound real cool)". Just sharing so you know I kept my word.
(Note: only ROM sounds, not using custom samples.)
