My orchestral reimagination of Never Fade Away from the launch trailer. Like the rest of the world I was super hyped for the game, but that song in the trailer really stuck with me and I ended up with this project before beginning the game at all.

I thought it would be an interesting challenge to reimagine a song such as this in an orchestral style. Especially the verses are quite unmelodic and difficult to make interesting. At first I intended to make it 100% instrumental but I'm quite bad at transcribing vocal lines and it just didn't carry the same weight as the vocals. So I attempted to separate the vocals from the track and use those upon my orchestration instead and was rather pleased with the result.

Original song: P. T. Adamczyk & Olga Jankowska
Orchestration: Synthicify
