Xander Martin requested a WL4 cover of this from me. Unlike some of his past requests this one seemed easy enough to warrant actually following up on. So I took a stab at it. 

At first I was using WarioWare, inc. as my standard for which sounds I could use. Actual Flute and Pan Flute sounds would be open to me this way, and the choir as well. 
[30,2] was an absolute shoe-in for the chorused plucked string, so that was obviously the first thing I did. I also went to the trouble of making this with Sappy playback in mind, unlike some of my other recent WL4 covers. 

Because of these 2 things I'd been flip-flopping on the idea of going full Arabian Nights with this waarangement. Finding ways of limiting the # of sound channels and # of voices while keeping audio seamless put the idea of also limiting myself to base WL4 instruments (justl ike good old day) in mind. 

So, after the initial arrangement was finished, I basically halted production for a while. I finally took a drug holiday this week, and I may resume it tomorrow (not sure just yet).
But anyway, today I came back to work on it a little more, since I remembered not being satisfied with it where it was. I did a bunch of patch event changes, and spruced up the choir part (which is now strings). 
For a while I had the 1st Flute set to be the Soft Electric Piano, but ended up changing it to [113,2], the Arabian Nights shanai. I ended up leaving the echo as [5,2] though, because it sounded like an echo for just the flutier portion of [113,2]'s sound. This gives the illusion that the lead is a doubling.

Necromicide - Necromicide OST

[Verse 1]
In the quiet town of Podunk, under starlit skies,
A boy named Ninten walks where shadows rise.
With a heart brave and true, and powers unseen,
He faces the world, where the strange becomes routine.
Objects come to life in a poltergeist’s dance,
A journey begins with a single, fateful glance.

[Chorus]
Sing the melodies, melodies of light,
In a world where shadows fight.
From Magicant to the peaks of Mt. Itoi,
A boy and his friends, in a realm they employ.
Sing the melodies, the echoes of fate,
Unlock the songs before it’s too late.

[Verse 2]
Through Merrysville, Spookane, and to the desert sand,
Ninten travels across this mysterious land.
With Ana, Lloyd, and brave Teddy by his side,
Through haunted factories and streets where secrets hide.
They face alien foes, in a silent, ghostly war,
With every step, uncovering lore.

[Chorus]
Sing the melodies, melodies of light,
In a world where shadows fight.
From Magicant to the peaks of Mt. Itoi,
A boy and his friends, in a realm they employ.
Sing the melodies, the echoes of fate,
Unlock the songs before it’s too late.

[Bridge]
In Magicant’s embrace, where dreams and reality blend,
Ninten finds the courage, on him we depend.
Queen Mary’s lullaby, lost in the swirls of time,
Eight melodies to find, to solve the ancient crime.
Under the alien sky, where Giegue's wrath unfurls,
Stand strong, sing the song, as the mystery unfurls.

[Verse 3]
Up Mt. Itoi, where the final battles roar,
Against beasts and machines, and myths of yore.
EVE’s sacrifice, in a blinding light,
Gives hope and strength to continue the fight.
With the power of song, a lullaby to save,
From the edge of despair, from the cosmic grave.

[Chorus]
Sing the melodies, melodies of light,
In a world where shadows fight.
From Magicant to the peaks of Mt. Itoi,
A boy and his friends, in a realm they employ.
Sing the melodies, the echoes of fate,
Unlock the songs before it’s too late.

[Outro]
As dawn breaks over lands both old and new,
The children of Earth their strength they renew.
In a world saved by the power of a song,
Ninten’s legacy, in hearts forever long.
For in the night’s deepest shadows, light finds a way,
And the melodies of hope will forever stay.
