After listening to the original when the OST was released, I knew I wanted to cover it. But there was a issue - there were no references. So I sat down and went to see if I could transcribe it myself. Turns out, yes. Though not without issue, mostly stemming from figuring out what the BPM was supposed to be. I also struggled quite a bit with the chorus, where in spite of being absolutely certain I got the notes for the instrumentals and the vocal right, when put together, it sounded wrong. Turns out, that's just part of the original composition, but there it's not really noticeable with the pitched instrumentals being buried in the mix. All in all, it took me 16 hours to transcribe, with additional 2 for corrections. But I did it, something I'm quite proud of.
When it came to arranging, I mused whether to include the intro or not, or if I should start from the familiar RLR1 motif like the in-show version of the track did. Ultimately, I decided to include the intro, mostly for completions' sake. For the guitars, I kept things fairly close to the original this time, with the biggest deviation being in the riff before the solo, and solo itself. The latter went through a bunch of different iterations until I got something I was satisfied with. The last addition being the background noises heard during the first half of it. These are artefacting from a audio channel ripped from the original, which I did for referencing. But finding it kinda sounded like mocking chatter, I had the idea to include them to allude to Ruby's intrusive thoughts, having them appropriate fade out as the chords take on a more triumphant tone.
Time spent working on the track: 61 hours.

The key notes of red like roses part 1 brought me shiver the first i heard it i was looking foward for red like roses part 3 but felt let down for not been let just say high octane
3:47 Idk how to describe it but this feels like like villain-twisted Ruby or at least Ruby on her villain arc. Not sure but I love this cover, this is unique it's great
This is fantastic! Really neat direction you took, plus I'm grateful to be able to actually hear the whispered parts now.
I didn't spected you to do this one so soon, but I'm glad you did!
I'm also glad you did the whole song, it would have been weird if you hadn't done the intro as well.
I also didn't expect you to change the guitar solo section to another melody, but I'm happy with how it turned out.
A really great job, keep it up!💪🥳
Heh. I wanted to strike while the iron is hot for this one. I think any other V9 stuff will wait until I'm done with other tracks. I say "think", as I'm not decided yet. lol
As for the solo, I pretty much always come up with my own. IMO, solos more than anything else are a artist's personal touch. Unless it's the point to make a 1-1 replica, copying it just feels wrong. 😄
I don't know why, but I think I like this one a bit better, talented as always!
Why this has so little of views? I love it
The algorithm keeps killing my stuff. T.T But if you'd like to help out, share the music around. I'd appreciate it! :D
Been keeping an eye out for covers of this song. I really like the original version, but I feel it falls just short of its full potential. Something that a couple of different artistic choices could reach. While this doesn't do what I would have done to the song, I think this direction hits a different, fantastic peak. I use music to inspire stories and characters for my table top games and other projects. This honestly paints a whole new picture in my head, and I can't wait to listen to this a hundred times for inspiration.
Really happy to hear that, thank you. :D And yeah, that description perfectly sums up how I feel about the original, too.
I'm so hungry to find more covers of this song. I like it but I know it can be better and this version is a great example of how
God this theme is now even better with this cover!
Thank you. Writing progress reports and filing forms was never so engaging.
Sooo Cool !
Your cover of this actually put me onto the entire soundtrack of the show! Thank you. I’ve been on a binge for the last month or so
One of us! One of us!
Heh. But really, happy to hear that. :D
@@NailikNoteworksno you’re right because now I’m watching the show 😂😂🎉
And on top of that, the entire soundtrack helped me write 90k words for my book in just a month! So keep doing what you’re doing! You never know what or who you’ll influence :)
@@TheOtherSideBooks Thank you for the kind words. 😊 I'm definitely gonna keep doing this. It's not gonna be every single song, but it'll be a lot of them. :D
PS: Which volume had your favourite tracklist? Mine's 4.
Cool!
Thank you. :)
Hits so hard, almost fell out of chair
Amazing cover! I didn't expect to melt in the first minute. Where is the musical hazard sign, huh?! The original wasn't this dangerous.
You're like, the fourth person to tell me they prefer my arrangement over the original. Please stahp* my ego can only get so large!
*don't stop tho. Moar! :P
@@NailikNoteworks It sure can! People are just IKEA spare parts to build your own all-out vanity table, don't forget that!
@@perchta3576 I kek'd. 😄
can you please do "inside" next?
I'll get to it some day, but that won't be any day soon. I'm mostly going in order with this, so it'll be quite a while until I get back around to V9.
Spotify?
Sorry, but nah. I'm not on Spotify.
goofy
Eh?
dw bout it@@NailikNoteworks
