I just haven't figured out exactly how I wanted to do it. Then I heard my friends Josiah and Michelle in Orcamind do their song "The Comm Stays On" and realized that I'd never be able to do something that was that emotional and tied into the game in such a warm way the way the song is. It's not a song many people may have heard if they just blasted through the menu to play, but when I was little, I would leave it on and stare at the ceiling for hours listening to it. With the new Star Fox coming out, I realized now is the time to finally do it, so I just asked if I could arrange The Comm in my style. They happily agreed. I listened to all of my favorite Power Ballads as I wanted to really find what made one so emotionally hitting and I took elements from all of my favorites for my arrangement of this song. Notably, Sieze the Day by A7X, Through Her Eyes by Dream Theater, Fade to Black by Metallica, and a little bit of Disturbed's Sound of Silence... you'll probably hear a little bit of all of those influencing this one. I went really heavy on synth pads and background effects, but I really wanted to focus on the vocals with the mix and try and make my guitar lines weave in with them. The thing I love the most about these lyrics is how the song is undeniably about James and Fox navigating his feelings about him, but it can be applied to so many other things. Josiah wrote such a powerful song that can be applied to anyone who hasn't given up on someone not in their life anymore. It means a lot to me on so many levels and it's a real priveledge to get to do this version with him and Michelle in this way. With Star Fox dropping soon, I'm looking forward to playing and being reminded of many of the songs I've been wanting to cover for a long time. This won't be the end of the Star Fox covers, but there's another game coming out this week that I'm inevitably going to cover music from so, look out for that next! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▼▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▼ More from FamilyJules ▼ Star Fox 64 METAL Cover - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSAsWOg9WIU E1M1 - At Dooms Gate - Doom - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn0T3s8SMQ8 BIG SHOT feat.
