Radical Dreamers is a little known sequel to Chrono Trigger, released only in Japan on the Satellaview SNES add-on.  However, it's about to get a proper English re-release with its inclusion in the new Chrono Cross remaster.

Treasure Beyond Dreams ("Le Trésor Interdit" from Radical Dreamers)

You Look So Fine (Garbage acoustic cover)

Quick little Kiss Me cover done in the wee hours of the night.  This is by far the manliest song in my repertoire.

Kiss Me (Sixpence None the Richer acoustic cover)

Music: Archaeoptero (@ptero)
Lyrics: orphoneus
Vocals: AzureKevin

Created in August 2013.

"The Ride Never Ends" by Ptero, Orphoneus, and AzureKevin (Reddit Game of Bands Round 25)

This is a cover of a Backstreet Boys song, which itself is sort of a "cover" of a PM Dawn song with new/extra lyrics, which itself samples a prominent vocal melody from "True" by Spandau Ballet.

Set Adrift on Memory Bliss (Backstreet Boys acoustic cover)

An arrangement of "The Land Unknown" from Final Fantasy V, and "Searching For Friends" from Final Fantasy VI.  Both are my favorite overworld songs from each game, and I came up with a way to mesh them together.

This is currently very much a work-in-progress, as I'm still tweaking/working on the instrumentation and guitar parts.

Sometimes

A cover of "The Only Fool is Me" from Blackfield IV.  This song's been stuck in my head for a while, but I couldn't find any chords or tabs online so I finally decided to sit down and figure it out by ear to make a cover.  Just in time for V Day :P

Latest version: May 2022

Lyrics:
Legendaries exchanging the same advice
Luminaries selling a change of life
Shoulda signed on the line now you’re losing time

Actuaries playing a waiting game
Reactionaries always know who to blame
Till the cause and the loss start to feel the same

Don’t tell me I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know

Don’t tell me I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know

All considered you’re lucky to have a friend
Keeps your mind from thinking what could have been
Pay to win sit and spin till you lose control

Rising tide washed up refugees
Got the faithful spreading the new disease
Hate sex love death work will set you free

Don’t tell me I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know

Don’t tell me I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know about it all

Don’t talk about it
Don’t say anything anything at all
Don’t talk about it
Don’t say anything anything anything at all
Don’t talk about it
Don’t say anything anything anything at all
Anything at all

Don’t tell me I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know

Don’t tell me I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know

I Don't Wanna Know

Spirits (piano, choir, and strings ending)

Like most RPG fans who played games from the 90s, I absolutely adore the Chrono series.

Last year I decided to experience Chrono Cross again via the new remaster.  During my playthrough, a short 6/8 piano idea for the song, “Burning Orphanage” popped into my head, and after playing around with it, I decided to try building it up into a full song.

It eventually evolved into this, what I think would be classed as a kind of haunting and wistful prog rock song with piano being the main driver, but also accompanied by the usual fair of rock drums, bass, synth leads, organs, both layered and lead electric guitar parts, strings, and mellotron choir.  Some parts of the song are perhaps faintly influenced by bands like King Crimson, some of Steven Wilson's solo music, as well as stuff by The Black Mages.

Once most of the first half was fleshed out (which was originally just going to be the whole arrangement), I realized one night that I could smoothly transition into the song “Silent Light” from Chrono Trigger, so I incorporated that as a slower second half.  Eventually I figured out a way to transition it back to Burning Orphanage with a mellower tone to close out the song.

The progression of the arrangement is recounting Kid’s trauma of fighting and surviving Lynx’s attack on the orphanage (first half with "Burning Orphanage"), but then wandering alone after her escape (second half with "Silent Light") and eventually finding peace (back to a slower "Burning Orphanage"), but not necessarily closure.

The actual scene from the game is one of the most heart breaking and climactic events from the whole series, IMO, and I wanted to try giving it even a fraction of justice.

A tribute to our beloved cat, Emory, who passed away too young.  RIP Sept 17, 2019. 

Lyrics:
Dwindling sun rays
Shaded pathways
Love is always bound to find
In the garden
On the altar
I sent my hopeless prayer

I thought I was prepared
Thought I could be there
Thought I won’t be scared
But the world had other plans
The world had other plans

In this silence
I can focus
On the life I have to live without
And the faded
fond remembrance
I believed would never end

I thought I was prepared
Thought you would be there
Thought I won’t be scared
But the world had other plans
The world had other plans

What I wouldn’t do for another chance
What I wouldn’t do for a change of circumstance
What I wouldn’t do for mercy if I could
What I couldn’t do for you

Thought I could be there
I thought I was prepared
Thought I won’t be scared
But the world had other plans
The world had other plans

Mercy (alternate drums & bass version)

An experimental arrangement of two of my favorite musical sources: "Green Memories"/"Chronopolis" from Chrono Trigger/Cross, and "Love in the Past Tense" by Porcupine Tree.

I found that the lyrics from "Love in the Past Tense" can actually kind of fit with themes / story from Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, especially when you discover the fate of Guardia.

I will try to update this in the future with real guitar if I can manage to play it, but for now this will do!

Resistance is Fruitile OST - Patient Library

This is a mostly-finished but still-being-polished arrangement of "Sealed Door", "Wind Scene", and "Schala's Theme" from Chrono Trigger.

I originally made this in 2006 as "Belthasar's Ambition", but have recently decided to remake it into a better version.  Feedback is greatly appreciated!
