Final Fantasy VI: Forever Rachel - 80's Power Ballad Arrangement

A version of this song can be found on the Pixel Mixers FREE tribute album to FF VI; World's Requiem, which is an album featuring over 70 musicians, and spans 3 discs, covering every song in the FF VI OST.
You can download it for free right here (It is a trustworthy download link I promise): www.mediafire.c...
It is absolutely worth your time.

This cover was very much inspired by cheesy 80's film and television music, along the lines of the Top Gun theme. But also by songs like 'For the love of god' by Steve Vai. Particularly the wah infused solo wankage.
Big thanks to PeyCa for helping out on this, not only with the piano, but also for mixing advice, and also for mastering this version!

Stay tuned to this channel, because this time next year I might have released yet another video!

This is so great, one of my favorite arrangements off of the album! Never expected to hear Forever Rachel like this, but so happy you did it like this because it's so fantastic.

[@kiaranjay5153]

Cheers, Crystal! Really glad to hear that :-D I enjoy what you did with Searching for Friends also!

Not only the best off disk 2, but IMO the best on the whole album. Excellent job guys!

[@kiaranjay5153]

:-O When there's so many good track on this album, words like this mean a lot. Thanks!

This has to be my favorite cover of this song I've ever heard. Thanks so much for this.

[@kiaranjay5153]

Wow thanks, that means a lot considering there are some really excellent versions of this track out there!

[@jennsypuff]

There are! And I've heard a good chunk of them. I might be a little obsessed with FF6. So you can trust my opinion as good authority. :)

[@kiaranjay5153]

Haha noted! It's certainly a great game with an amazing soundtrack. I can see why you might be a bit obsessed by it! Feel free to check out the rest of the free album, if you haven't already. We're all pretty proud of it. :-)

Glad you dig them Dacian! 80's cheesy snare is best snare!

[@NobodyFromNowhere]

Beautiful and you guys put out a great album:) 80s styling is the musical equivalent of adding bacon to something;)
