OMG it has vocals too!  This is fantastic!

Goodness. The whole concept of this is just lovely, and the execution is utterly delightful. I love it.

Your arrangement doesn't just do justice to the original track, it surpasses it, especially here. This sequence has a sense of scale to it that's properly spine-tingling.

Sweetly funny, sweepingly majestic, heartening and moving in surprising ways, and just utterly magical in every way, really. Outstanding work.

A cover of David Bowie's song "As the world falls down" from the movie "Labyrinth" - with a twist. The inspiration of this cover was the notion that in the videogame "Portal" - a malfunctioning Sentry Turrent (semi-sentient automated gun turrets) has encountered the game's protagonist Chell... and fallen in love with her. But their love is not to be as Chell brings about the destruction of the world around them... or does she? :D

Thanks to @lingmops for the use of her ears and discerning opinion during mastering - or my attempts thereof! :D 

There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes.
A kind of pale jewel
Open and closed
Within your eyes.
I'll place the sky
Within your eyes.

There's such a fooled heart
Beatin' so fast
In search of new dreams.
A love that will last
Within your heart.
I'll place the moon
Within your heart.

As the pain sweeps through,
Makes no sense for you.
Every thrill is gone.
Wasn't too much fun at all,
But I'll be there for you-ou-ou
As the world falls down.

Falling.
Falling down.
Falling in love.

I'll paint you mornings of gold.
I'll spin you Valentine evenings.
Though we're strangers 'til now,
We're choosing the path
Between the stars.
I'll leave my love
Between the stars.

As the pain sweeps through,
Makes no sense for you.
Every thrill is gone.
Wasn't too much fun at all,
But I'll be there for you-ou-ou
As the world falls down.

Falling
As the world falls down.
Falling
As the world falls down.
Falling.
Falling.
Falling.
Falling in love
As the world falls down.
Falling.
Falling.
Falling.
Falling.
Falling in love
As the world falls down.
Makes no sense at all.
Makes no sense to fall.
