It has to be covered.

It's a crime that it's taken me this long to finally do this one. These part two covers were songs that now that I'm really trying to force myself into the world of doing my own vocals, I had to do as soon as possible. It's in a great vocal range for me, and I'm a huge fan of this soundtrack and it's been clear to me how much you guys love this OST as well.

I actually remember playing through this game really enjoying the soundtrack, but wondering if it'd be really that popular due to it's heavy use of vocals during scenes with dialogue which can usually be very distracting. I'm really glad this game's soundtrack also seems to be having a resurgence because it gives me an excuse to prioritize bringing my take on it to you guys.

This is the first cover in over a decade of this channel to be mixed by someone other than me. In an effort to lower my workload so I can take on more spontaneous projects, I've hired on the help of the insanely talented Johnny Manchild to assist me in creating these covers. You'll probably notice the difference here in the low end from my previous mixes. I'm really excited to see the new dimension of my covers moving forward having someone else be part of the creative process. Can't wait to hear what you think!

Thanks for listening!
