💭 — THOUGHTS — 💭

Patreon Request 2/5 - requested by Ro Panuganti

I have been on a bit of a rollercoaster with this cover. I started this thing in August of last year, and for a long time I was pretty unhappy with it. I gradually spent some time re-recording some of the guitars quite a few times and adding a lot of layers, and eventually became confident in the direction the cover was heading in. I really think my performance and playing is the highlight of this cover, I was way more careful than usual to make sure every little nuance was just as I wanted it. I ended up mixing this song twice, since I really didn’t like the first mix at all and thought it would be better to start from scratch instead of trying to salvage it. I also filmed this entire video twice! I wasn’t happy with any of the shots I got the first time around, and even though these new ones are far from perfect, I like what I have now quite a lot more.

I spent a lot of time trying to get the details of this cover as polished as I could, and I think it definitely paid off. Usually, I’ll be finishing the mix, filming and editing the video all the night before uploading, but this time I was a bit more patient. I gave myself a few days to sit with the mix to really make sure I liked it, and I also gave myself a few days to sit with the video to make sure I was happy with that as well. And it was worth it, because not only did I end up making some worthwhile changes that I wouldn’t have made otherwise, but I also feel a lot more at peace with the music than usual publishing this one.

Thanks for watching everyone! The Smash Ultimate arrangement of this song is really incredible, so I hope I was able to do it justice, and I hope you enjoyed my rendition!
