*****************
Hello everyone! I take on an all time classic this week!

The idea for this one struck me out of nowhere one day and I started to play around with an arrangement. The original idea that hit me was simply for the beginning of this cover where it starts big, goes to a piano that sounds like it's coming off an old street speaker, the bass kicks in and then BOOM... full band. That was it. I started working on it thinking it would be a fun little arrangement, but as I was working on it, bigger ideas started to flow in my head and I realized it wasn't going to be this little cover anymore.

The later half of this arrangement was clearly inspired by the Final Fantasy VII Remake Air Buster battle and that's the idea that changed the entire direction of this cover. I think the chord progression change during that part really makes it sound more heroic and when I reel in the guitar harmonies it enhances this even more!

In the end, this initially simple cover ended up requiring a whole lot of work (especially on the orchestral side) but it also turned into something I'm quite proud of. This is what I like about taking more time to do covers... I get to try ideas that require more effort.

Let me know what you think!

See you next time!
