Fire Emblem Echoes - Separate Ways - Viola Quartet Cover
32Wow, it feels like I haven't pressed the upload button on YouTube in a while. Thanks for being so patient with me! This break was completely NOT intentional and I really wanted to upload more on the channel but as the school year got to an end, things got really hectic. All grades are out for this semester, so technically I am now done with my degree! Just have graduation left... and then I’ll be moving to a new city for more school! Two other music projects for YouTube are in the works and I hope they will be done soon!
Haha, I'm also uploading this on my birthday, what a surprise! Yes, my birthday coincides with the international release of this game lol. Can’t believe it has been 7 years….
I came across this video by @soriphel9667 where they played this song so beautifully and emotionally. I was so inspired by it that I wanted to make a viola version. Such a lovely track with a lot of references to the main FE theme! I guess it's been a while since the game was released, but I feel so nostalgic over this soundtrack 😭 Although I don't think it has the same effect as piano and music box, I do hope you enjoy this viola-quartet rendition!
I am still not convinced what this song is called because although I searched it up online, I couldn't really find the original source material. All I found was a Ninsheetmusic arrangement of this (and some things from Musescore). I DID play this wonderful game a couple years ago (Man, what an amazing game with so much love and care put into it), and I do know that this theme does play in the opening cutscene via music box where Alm and Celica are children (Track name: Omen). I also hear the theme in Alm and Celica's love theme called "A Distant Promise."
I ended up asking KMADS if she knew where this song came from and she found that it's from a track called Undiscovered Horizons. This sounds much more like the arrangements and other covers of this track. Thanks for helping me with this!!! Anyways.... I still very much wanted to cover this track even if I wasn't sure what to title it! I'm just going to title it as Separate Ways and say it's from FE15 LOL. It is based off of the Soriphel version and doesn't have the later parts.
I also tried out something different with the split screen in my editing! I see some folks something like this when I watch their covers and I wanted to try it out. I'm not sure if I did it correctly or if it looks good, but I wanted to see what it'd be like! The thing about not uploading in a while is it makes me feel like I have to upload something really polished. I feel like sometimes I let that pressure get to me and I end up just not working on anything at all. While I can't guarantee weekly uploads like I used to do, I am so grateful for those of you who have stuck with me ❤️
I'm subscribed to a lot of my friends on my personal YouTube channel, so I've been inconsistently keeping up with some uploads, but I feel bad I haven't been able to comment and support :( Hopefully, summer break means more time to devote to making covers that I love, and catching up on all the wonderful things my friends have made! Happy to be back again :)
Love,
Will
