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]
Did you cross the line or was it drawn by me?
Curves and swerves where no one can see.
You're spinning tales in twilight's glow,
Am I the star in your show?

[Chorus]
Yeah, we played our parts,
You can't craft this chaos without two hearts.
You nudged my hand when we chose our fate,
Every wild night, we celebrate.
They say, "Two wrongs don’t make it right,"
But together, we lit up the night.

[Post-Chorus]
(Together)

[Verse 2]
You paint me as the villain in your peace,
But your brush had strokes of mischief, to say the least.
You lost your grip, but so did I,
Underneath this stormy sky.

[Chorus]
Yeah, we played our parts,
You can't craft this chaos without two hearts.
You nudged my hand when we chose our fate,
Every wild night, we celebrate.
They say, "Two wrongs don’t make it right,"
But together, we lit up the night.

[Post-Chorus]
(Together)
(Together)
(Together)

[Bridge]
It’s a game for two, oh can’t you see?
You blame me, and darling, I blame thee.
Isn't that the bitter truth? (Oh)

[Chorus]
Yeah, we played our parts,
You can't craft this chaos without two hearts.
You nudged my hand when we chose our fate,
Every wild night, we celebrate.
They say, "Two wrongs don’t make it right,"
But together, we lit up the night.

[Post-Chorus]
(Together)
(Together)
(Together)
