Moments (Fragment of Memories) - Final Fantasy VIII

We were a few weeks before release of the OCReMix FF8 SeeDs of Pandora album when a few of the remixers were like "Hey, why is this not the biggest OCR album? Let's give it a final push and create some more music!". That idea sounded intriguing to me, and a good excuse to make some more music. Since all the tracks that were not part of the first four discs were already taken, the only option was to remix a track that already was done before for the album. And what better thing to do than to (again) remix one of your own remixes? For this track I decided to lean into my original arrangement of "Fragments of Memories", and specifically the minor key I used in the first half of "Moments". Also, given the short amount of time and my fondness for the genre, I couldn't resist turning it into synthwave once again. Since there were already lyrics for "Moments", it made a lot of sense to make it a vocal remix too. Fortunately Natalie (Sirenstar) was once again on board to provide some kickass vocals for it, as well as some voice acting with lines gracefully borrowed from Ellone's in-game script. Structure-wise it's a bit different from "Moments" though; while I was able to use the verses as-is, I felt that what was a bridge in my original remix would serve better as the chorus for some more oomph, and I had to repurpose the original chorus as the sax solo (courtesy of Lucas Guimaraes). An interesting arrangement puzzle, for sure, but I think it worked out well in the end. This also happens to be the first track I actually played the lead guitar myself on. Needed too many takes and help editing, but it's progress! So there you have it, an unexpected remix of a remix that I hope you'll enjoy and makes you go "Hey, did I hear this before?" in a good way. Many thanks to my collaborators Natalie and Lucas for joining me on this one!

But even still, if there's a possibility, it's worth a try, right? [Verse] Oh, I do recall Losing all Now that we parted ways Our memories Will soon fade away The feelings I can't convey [Chorus] I'm stuck in the past and I didn't see But in the here and now, I'll be the best I can be... Yeah [Break] You can't change the past. I just found that out. I can no longer make it back to that moment... [Verse] All my thoughts remain, You and Raine, Times I treasured the most All the jokes we shared and All of the laughter, Meeting you was a joy [Chorus] [Break] I couldn't change the past but seeing it was more than enough. What's important is right now. I finally realized that. [Verse] I recall the day, Danger came But I couldn't escape You came running in To save me again Moments just like back then [Chorus] Yeah, yeah, yeah! [Outro] You can find out things about the past that you never knew. And from what you've learned, you may see some things differently in the present. You're the one that changes. Not the past.
