  • My own arrangement of Bloody tears from the old NES game Castlevania 2. Playing it with my own style, not 100% faithful to the original :)
    Well, this is the result, quite enjoyable piece to play anyway.
    Standard tuning, the mic is Rode NT1-A.

    This song is so beautiful and so perfect that it is hard to believe it came from a videogame. I still remember when I was 9, my grandma bought me Castlevania II: Simon's Quest for my NES, was my first game I ever had besides Mario Bros. I put the game, walked out to the first town and the first notes of Bloody Tears sounded, I couldn't believe what I was listening, from that moment on this song has been one of the most important tunes I've heard in my life

    mmmh, it's pretty sweet and melodic. Should be in one of the classic games, adds a lot of identity and depth to the song.
    This version makes me feel like the Belmont(whichever one) is hearing every bloody tear that fell down from all his ancestors and feels their anguish and sadness at the superhuman task of beating Dracula.

    This is pretty amazing. The version from the Netflix anime was played for badassery and befitting of an awesome action scene, while this rendition of the very same song sounds like our heroes barely survived and are making their subdued and exhausted way home, with the mournful tones of a victory at great cost.
    That’s the power of a strong melody, and that’s why NES chiptunes were so memorable.
