Final Fantasy VII Remake - "Hollow" - Rock Cover ft. Erika Richards

Nominated for the 2024 Game Music Remix Awards! Final Fantasy VII was my very first RPG, which I started playing at age 7 back when it first came out. It absolutely changed my life. I had a blast playing the remake, too, and the new original song, Hollow, blew me away at the end. The lyrics - which are essentially about grief - resonated with me personally. I'd wanted to cover it for a while and I first had the idea 3 years ago, but was finally able to finish it last April for the Dwelling of Duels monthly contest. The style of this arrangement was influenced by classic rock ballads with folk elements. I played the Irish bouzouki, piano/keys, accordion, harp, and got some practice with belting, which I've been doing a lot more of over the last few years. Erika contributed guitars, bass, and drums, and really helped bring my vision to life. I couldn't have pulled off the sound I wanted without her! I also incorporated a couple of references to other FFVII tracks. The harp arpeggio (...harpeggio?) during the guitar solo is inspired by the Prelude, and the one during the second bridge was modeled after the harp part in Dear to the Heart. During the second and third choruses, the accordion (doubled by the harp and mellotron) briefly quotes the melody of On That Day, Five Years Ago. I realized while arranging that the chord progression in the chorus kind of worked with that minor key version of the main theme, so of course I had to do something with it. I've been wanting to explore rock and metal genres more in my music lately (going back to some of my old roots), and this was a great outlet for that. It was a very cathartic song to work on, and I loved playing and singing it. I poured my soul into this track, and I hope you enjoy it! -- Credits: Earth Kid: Vocals, Piano, Irish Bouzouki, Accordion, Harp, Keys (Mellotron, Organ), Arrangement, Mixing Erika Richards: Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Bass, Drum programming, Mastering (   / @erichards  ) Artwork: orioto https://www.deviantart.com/orioto/art...

Foolish and blind to everything Had I realized, had I thought it through, Would you be here in my embrace? Shine bright once more Guide me to you Smile bright once more This time I will never let you go With your every smile hiding something more Dark mysteries lurking beneath But I was consumed with this emptiness This selfishness, this void to fill Hear me once more Show me your smile This time for sure I'll see the truth hidden inside your tears But I, I know That you're long gone But I, I will Go on, Howling and hollow To never know #EarthKid, #finalfantasyvii
