A cover of the full version of the main theme from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. This is one of my favorite games of all time, and this song playing at the end of Blue Lions made me emotional, though I'd heard it online prior. I started transcribing it after I heard it online, and I have been working on this for well over a year, tweaking to get it just right, and I'm very proud of it, so I hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:
Reach for my hand, I'll soar away
Into the dawn, oh, I wish I could stay
Here in cherished halls in peaceful days
I fear the edge of dawn knowing time betrays

Daylight's passed through colored glass in this beloved place
Silver shines, the world dines, a smile on each face
As joy surrounds, comfort abounds, and I can feel I'm breaking free
For just this moment lost in time, I am finally me

Yet still I hide behind this mask that I have become
My blackened heart scorched by flames, a force I can't run from

As I live out each peaceful day
Deep in my soul, oh, I know I can't stay
So I wish I could hide away
Hold tight to what I love
Keep cruel fate at bay

As the rain falls on the path, I chase your shadow
I don't feel a single drop or the ground below
Then you turn to me and I stop before I know
And the lie upon my lips, I let it go

Cross my heart, making vows I know will be betrayed
A sad girl's pleas live only for a breath and then they fade

Don't ever take back your kind hand
Lest precious love slip away like time's sand
Only we will know all that was lost
Scars that we can't erase show us life's true cost

The blue moonlight
Cuts across our sight as pure and clear as a ringing bell
Reaching for us in the night
As the wind calms my thoughts I have strung on this terrace
I feel at peace
Carried away by the wind's song!

Open the door and walk away
Never give in to the call of yesterday
Memories that made those days sublime
These ruined halls entomb stolen time

Reach for my hand, I'll soar away
Into the dawn, oh, I wish I could stay
Here in cherished halls in peaceful days
I fear the edge of dawn knowing time betrays

I love this song, better than any of the rap on the radio or whatever. It's about the grind to success and how the character proved everyone wrong. I couldn't find an instrumental of this anyway, so I set to work and I think I got it bang on and I'm proud of it. I have a really bad ear musically (such as determining notes/chords) and with that in mind, it's even more impressive imo.

Feel Good [Instrumental] - reo (Krae The Writer Cover)

An interesting song by Cartel I decided to do. This has been done for awhile, but anxiety about making it live is what kept it down for so long.
Lyrics:
Please don't mind what I'm trying to say cause I'm, I'm being honest
When I tell you that you
You're part of the reason I'm so set on the rest of my life
Being a part of you
You tell me what you think about being open,
About being honest with yourself

Cause things will never be the same.

So I guess I'll see you, see you around
I'm spinning, whoa I'm falling down
Now you know why I'm begging you to stay

Well don't waste time getting to the point, cause I'm, I'm patiently waiting
For your next phone call, your next excuse for losing sleep again
Tell me what you think about being open,
About being honest with yourself

Cause things will never be the same

So I guess I'll see you, see you around
I'm spinning, whoa I'm falling down
Now you know why I'm begging you to stay

Cause I can't stop it now
It's so amazing how
I know I cant, I could never walk away

How can we resolve this now
We let it go, and wonder how
This can ever be the same
Can never be the same

So I guess I'll see you, see you around
I'm spinning, whoa I'm falling down
Now you know why I'm begging you, I'm begging!

Cause I can't stop it now,
It's so amazing how,
I know I cant, I could never walk away.

Please don't mind what I'm trying to say, cause I'm, I'm being honest.

Feel Good

Honestly - reo (Cartel Cover)

The second OP from the acclaimed anime Attack on Titan. Flügel der Freiheit means Wings of Freedom in German. This is my favorite anime opening of all time and was one of the major factors in the show becoming my favorite show and anime of all time. Anyway, I made the orchestral instrumental and I'm proud of it. I hope you enjoy! This is the TV-size version, I might make a full version someday.

Lyrics:
Wohlan freund! Jetzt hier ist ein Sieg! 
Dies ist der erst gloria! 
Oh mein freund! Feiern wir diesen Sieg 
Für den nächsten Kampf! 

I will not let your deaths be in vain 
Even if I'm the last one standing, oh! 

Der feind ist grausam, wir bringen 
Der feind ist riesig, wir springen 

We grip two blades for Gloria, sing songs of victory 
And on our backs die Flügel der Freiheit! 
With our determination clutched tightly to our hearts 
We'll cross die Linie der Torheit! 

Soar into the sky! 
Flügel der Freiheit! 

Flügel der Freiheit!

So Ist Es Immer

Flügel Der Freiheit - reo (Attack On Titan OP 2 Cover)

I recently heard this song with the actual vocals (because I don't believe it included them when it premiered in season 2) and I am in love with it. It's now my favorite AoT song, and I believe it belongs to Armin. I started working on the instrumental the day after I heard it, and I think I did well on the instrumental. I hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:
Wouldn't it be nice to take walk on some pure white sand?
Gaze at the horizon without living in fear?
Wouldn't it be sweet to watch the sun curve down, meets the waves?
And taste the ocean spray, and realize we'd been living as slaves

We gotta learn to get back, get back
But is it worth the price of our soul?
You know you had to kill her, kill her
Oh, my dirty hands, it never fades
And if we get out, get out
I'll think about the price of our soul
We gotta learn to live free, live free
We'll live a life without barricades

How long I haven't seen the light shine through in my life
Lost everything, family, confusion on the way
Someone tries to talk to me and signpost the righteous road
My animal inside can now be tamed to go over the wall

We gotta learn to get back, get back
But is it worth the price of our soul?
You know you had to kill her, kill her
Oh, my dirty hands, it never fades
And if we get out, get out
I'll think about the price of our soul
We gotta learn to live free, live free
We'll live a life without barricades

We gotta learn to get back, get back
But is it worth the price of our soul?
You know you had to kill her, kill her
Oh, my dirty hands, it never fades
And if we get out, get out
I'll think about the price of our soul
We gotta learn to live free, live free
We'll live a life without barricades

A cover of Call Your Name from the Attack on Titan OST. To be honest, I couldn't tell you when in the series this plays, but it's a super sad song. I am pretty sure it belongs to Bertholdt, and one of the main reasons is the mention of coffee, which the people within the walls don't have (this isn't a spoiler, really). Anyway, I LOVED the use of dissonance and I did my best transcribing it, and I'm proud of the outcome. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
She lost her brother a month ago
His picture on the wall
And it reminds me
When she brings me coffee... her smile
I wish I could be with her until my last day

She said she gave all her love to me
We dreamt a new life
Some place to be at peace
But things changed... suddenly
I lost my dreams in this disaster

I'm crying
Missing my lover
I don't have the power
On my side forever
Oh, where is my lover?
And I got no power
I'm standing alone, no way
Calling out your name

I said I gave all my love to you
We dreamt a new house
Some place to be at peace
But things changed... suddenly
I lost my dreams in this disaster

We don't know what is wrong tonight
Everybody's got no place to hide
No one's left and there's no one to go on
All I know is my life is gone

I'm crying
Missing my lover
I don't have the power
On my side forever
Oh where is my lover?
And I got no power
I'm standing alone, no way
Calling out your name

Call Your Name - reo (Attack On Titan OST Cover)

This is the song that plays during the credits of Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia and is originally performed by the voice actor of Silque. The song is beautiful and told from Mila's point of view. I also arranged the instrumental for this and I like how it turned out. This is a redo of my original cover, because I knew I could do it better and so I did.

LYRICS:
On an ocean of stars
Lo, an angel they see
Untouched by the war that they waged

Laid low by their scars
A people wounded but free
Seek what lies beyond this dark age

The seasons they turn, winter to spring
Dulling the pain and erasing the sting
The seasons turn, summer to fall
Time's warm embrace begins to heal all

On the wild first light
The jasper lion will run
Hark an anthem he drums, can you hear?

The people fresh from the night
Rise and listen as one
The land that they were promised is near

And though I am gone, just ash in the wind
One life surrendered so yours can begin
Courage my children, this is your song
I am the earth I will make you strong!

A world riven by pride repaired at last
And now, its makers can be at rest
Our vision come to pass!

The seasons they turn, memory fades
But when my name has been lost to the grave
I will sustain you, year after year
I will protect you when dangers appear
And though I am gone, just ash in the wind
One life surrendered so yours can begin
Courage my children, this is your song
I am the earth I will make you strong!

A cover of Mayday Parade's "Miserable at Best" performed by reo (Caleb Downs) and Jadrik Downs.
I decided to redo my part because I detected audio crackles, and I think it's a hell of a lot better. Anyway, I have a personal connection to this song because it was the first one I taught myself on the piano. Anyways, I hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening!

A cover of NateWantsToBattle's FNAF song "Salvaged," a song I love VERY much. I was dumbfounded I hadn't heard it before when I randomly went on a binge of all his FNAF songs, and I was IMMEDIATELY in love. It's now one of my all-time favorite songs. I started the transcription the next morning. I hope you enjoy! This is easily the toughest song to transcribed I've worked on but I'm SO proud of the outcome!

Lyrics:
It's been years since I've seen a face 'round here
I was broken and alone in that hell I called my home
You always choose to stay, spend your nights keeping me away
You think you stand a chance to last against the ghosts of your past?

It's been years since I've seen a face 'round here
I was broken and alone in that hell I called my home
Should've left me to decay, finding me was your worst mistake
And I've found my new obsession
Now it's just you and me!

You turn away, I'll be right beside you
You cut me off but I'll always have another way to find you
My body's still mending, you're in for a sight
Another night but it doesn't get easy
Because you're stuck picking up all the pieces that they salvaged
No matter what the ending you won't last the night

And I hear you breathing in your room
Now don't you panic, it'll all be over soon
And you can play your little games all day
You'll never be free!

You block me out all you want, but I hear the sound
The echo of a hello, I'll come back around!

You turn away, I'll be right beside you
You cut me off but I'll always have another way to find you
My body's still mending, you're in for a sight
Another night but it doesn't get easy
Because you're stuck picking up all the pieces that they salvaged
No matter what the ending you won't last the night

No happy ending will ever find you
All of these ghosts are from deep inside you [x2]

No happy ending will find you!
And all of these ghosts are from deep inside you

You turn away, I'll be right beside you
You cut me off but I'll always have another way to find you
My body's still mending, you're in for a sight
Another night but it doesn't get easy
Because you're stuck picking up all the pieces that they salvaged
No matter what the ending you won't last the night
(You won't last the night!)

Night In The Woods is an adorable little game you can get on Steam. It's a very interesting game with great music and great art design, I recommend playing it. The characters are in a "band" and they play this and two other songs at different points in the game. I decided to redo my original version of this with an original instrumental, and though my two year old vocals weren't bad, I redid them too. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
Dust on this tired old street
Mark corners where we used to play
Dust trace our tired old feet
In circles as we pace our time away

I just want to die anywhere else
If only I could die anywhere else
So come with me, let’s die anywhere else
Anywhere, just not here

Stuck on this dead end street
Where all the new kids come to play
Stuck where past and future meet
Watching all our autumns drift away

I just want to die anywhere else
If only I could die anywhere else
So come with me, let’s die anywhere else
Anywhere, just not here

And if they ever hear my name
Will they know I walked alone
Around these dusty streets
My tired old home?

And will they ever stop to think
What was here before? No...
They won’t remember that I’m gone...

I just want to die anywhere else
If only I could die anywhere else
So come with me, let’s die anywhere else
Anywhere, just not here

Oh no

Die Anywhere Else - reo (Night In The Woods Cover)

In the same NateWantsToBattle binge where I discovered Salvaged, I also heard this version of Nightmare, and I love it. His acoustic version is in E major instead of C major, so it fits in my range much better in this key. I hope you enjoy! (I couldn't get the pattern-type thing I used for Misty to work correctly, so I had to go with default 8th notes)

Just sleep, just dream
Just sleep, just dream

In the back of my mind
I've been trying to chase a monster this whole time
But I couldn't see the monster was me
And no one heard our cries

Now I've run out of tears
The time has come for me to disappear
Get me out of this mess
And away from the stress
Set me free so I can rest

We're only kids who lost our way
But if we wait long enough
We will be saved
Just sleep, just dream
This isn't fair
No we're not just what we seem
We want to fly but our souls are trapped inside
It's not a game, not to blame
We're forced to hide
Just sleep, just dream
It's only a nightmare
And soon we'll be set free

And I've been crying out for help
I know I bite but I mean well
Can you see my disguise
I'm different inside
Can you break this spell

And all the ghosts from before
They're knocking and they're breaking down your door
So please set us free
Now you have the key
'Cause I can't take the pain
No more

We're only kids who lost our way
But if we wait long enough
We will be saved
Just sleep, just dream
This isn't fair
No we're not just what we seem
We want to fly but our souls are trapped inside
It's not a game, not to blame
We're forced to hide
Just sleep, just dream
It's only a nightmare
And soon we'll be set free

We're only kids who lost our way
But if we wait long enough
We will be saved
Just sleep, just dream
This isn't fair
No we're not just what we seem
We want to fly but our souls are trapped inside
It's not a game, not to blame
We're forced to hide
Just sleep, just dream
It's only a nightmare
And soon we'll be set free

Nightmare - reo (NateWantsToBattle Cover)

A cover of TryHardNinja's "After the End of the World" from the album "Pick A Universe." I've always liked this song and one day I decided I could transcribe it and I did, and then I decided to cover it, so there you go.

Lyrics:
We still have awhile to go
So stay with me, so stay with me
We hurry down a winding road
Without someplace we have to be

So where do we run?
Find space to hide
When all the sick
Is already inside?

How do we stand by as bridges burn?
Learn how to give with nothing in return
How do we arm every boy and girl?
Tell me how do we live after the end of the world?

An hourglass full of mistakes
The sands of time force us apart
Every horizon that we chase
Turns out the same as where we start

So where do we run?
Find space to hide
When all the sick
Is already inside?

How do we stand by as bridges burn?
Learn how to give with nothing in return
How do we arm every boy and girl?
Tell me how do we live after the end of the world?

We still have awhile to go
So stay with me, so stay with me

How do we stand by as bridges burn? (Bridges burn)
Learn how to give (how to give) with nothing in return (nothing in return!)
How do we arm every boy and girl? (Every boy and girl!)
Tell me how do we live after the end of the world?

After The End Of The World - reo (TryHardNinja Cover)

A cover of the main theme from Fire Emblem Fates, aka Azura's song. I also included the "Lost Verse," aka Shigure's verse from the Heirs of Fate DLC. I've always really liked this song, and I transcribed it first for piano. While I like it with just piano, I felt compelled to make a full instrumental and finally do a cover of it (I did originally on my main channel way back when, but I deleted it, though I still have it. Anyway, it sucked). Enjoy!

Lyrics:
You are the ocean's gray waves
Destined to seek life beyond the shore
Just out of reach
Yet the waters ever change
Flowing like time
The path is yours to climb

In the white light
A hand reaches through
A double edged blade cuts your heart in two
Waking dreams fade away
Embrace the brand new day

Sing with me a song
Of birthrights and love
The light scatters to the sky above
Dawn breaks through the gloom
White as a bone
Lost in thoughts, all alone.

You are the ocean's gray waves
Destined to seek life beyond the shore
Just out of reach
Yet the waters ever change
Flowing like time
The path is yours to climb

Embrace the dark
You call a home
Gaze upon an empty white throne
A legacy of lies
A familiar disguise

Sing with me a song
Of conquest and fate
The black pillar cracks beneath its weight
Night breaks through the day
Hard as a stone
Lost in thoughts, all alone.

A burdened heart
Sinks into the ground
A veil falls away without a sound
Not day nor night
Wrong nor right
For truth and peace you fight!

Sing with me a song
Of silence and blood
The rain falls but can't wash away the blood
Within my ancient heart swells
Madness and pride
Can no one hear my cry?

You are the ocean's gray waves
Destined to seek life beyond the shore
Just out of reach
Yet the waters ever change
Flowing like time
The path is yours to climb

In endless dreams
Countless realms collide
Hope falls only to rise like the changing tide
But all dreams come to an end
Just whispers on the wind

Sing with me one last time
For light's sacrifice
Endless dawn came but not without a price
Lost in the waves there glimmers
A pale blue stone
I think of you, all alone

You are the ocean's gray waves
Destined to seek life beyond the shore
Just out of reach
Yet the waters ever change
Flowing like time
The path is yours to climb

Lost In Thoughts All Alone - reo (Fire Emblem Fates Cover)

This is a cover of he main theme (English version)of Valkyria Chronicles. The Japanese version uses the same song and has the same syllable structure with a similar meaning and I think that is really awesome. But this game is one of the few that has ever made me emotional, and I highly recommend getting it on Steam. I decided to sing it an octave lower but I think it turned out well.

A Love Passed On - reo (Rosie's Song - Valkyria Chronicles Cover)

This is a redone version of my cover of "The Reluctant Heroes," a beautiful song from the Attack on Titan soundtrack that I actually did not hear in the background the first time I watched the series. This is my favorite anime of all time, and I love the music in it, so I transcribed this song and decided to cover it. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
Day by day, we have lost our edge
Don't you know? Forgotten is the life we led
Now it seems, you don't care what the risk
The peaceful times they have made us blind
Can't look back, they will not come back
Can't be afraid, it's time after time
So once again, I'm hiding in my room
The peaceful times they have made us blind

Now you can't fly if you never try
You told me, oh, long ago
You left the wall, outside the gate
So more than ever it's real

It was like a nightmare, it's painful for me
'cause nobody wants to die too fast
Remembering the days of grief, now it's strange for me
I could see your face, I could hear your voice
Remembering the day we met, it's painful for me
'cause nobody wants to die too fast
Remembering the days we dreamt, it's painful for me
I could see your face, I could hear your voice

A song for reluctant heroes
Oh give me your strength, our life is so short
A song for reluctant heroes
I wanna be brave like you
From my heart
A song for reluctant heroes
Oh give me your strength, our life is so short
A song for reluctant heroes
I wanna be brave like you

Can't look back, they will not come back
Can't be afraid, it's time after time
So once again, I'm hiding in my room
The peaceful times they have made us blind

So you can't fly if you never try
You told me, oh, long ago
You left the wall, outside the gate
So more than ever it's real

It was like a nightmare, it's painful for me
'cause nobody wants to die too fast
Remembering the days of grief, now it's strange for me
I could see your face, I could hear your voice
Remembering the day we met, it's painful for me
'cause nobody wants to die too fast
Remembering the days we dreamt, it's painful for me
I could see your face, I could hear your voice

The Reluctant Heroes - reo (Attack On Titan OST Cover)

This is my favorite song of all time and was one of the first I successfully transcribed. I don't think myself better than NateWantsToBattle and never will, and with this redo I think this is my final version.
Sheet music of it I wrote: https://musescore.com/user/11502841/scores/5026714

LYRICS:
It's underneath my skin, these god forsaken memories
The puppet takes the stage, he'll carry on
Forgotten who I am, but all the world keeps telling me
It may be where you live but it's not your home

I've got a one-way ticket straight outta here and I don't know where it goes
It's not the destination, it's the crawl
Was it out of love or out of fear? if you ask me, I don't know
You forget how to want once you've had it all

You can't take me anywhere, you can't take me anywhere
I've got a way back home and an open door
To everything I left face down on the floor
You know you can't take me anywhere

It's underneath my skin, an ache that's still reminding me
A night where everything's not as it seems
A thousand whitened smiles, but none contain no empathy
Paper thin, they're seeing right through me, woah!

I've got a one-way ticket straight outta here and I don't know where it goes
Ignore the rise but everyone sees you fall
Was it out of love or out of fear? If you ask me, I don't know
You forget how to want once you've had it all

You can't take me anywhere, you can't take me anywhere
I've got a way back home and an open door
To everything I left face down on the floor
You know you can't take me anywhere

It's easy to see it, too hard to believe it
But once in awhile, you've just gotta come clean
Now you try to hide it, but you can't deny it
It's falling apart, tearing up at the seams
I give you my best, secretly I'm a mess
But sooner or later, it's bound to rise
There's so many warnings that I've been ignoring
Now we're shutting down...

You can't take me anywhere, you can't take me anywhere
I've got a way back home and an open door
To everything I left face down on the floor
You know you can't take me anywhere

You can't take me anywhere (Take me anywhere)
You can't take me anywhere (Take me anywhere)
I've got a way back home and an open door
To everything I left face down on the floor
You know you can't take me anywhere (Take me anywhere!)
