I had completely forgotten about this gem until youtube recommended it to me again. Its been years since I heard this the first time and my music tastes have changed alot but its just as good as I remember.
This is one of the best remixes that I've never heard. It makes me feel like the days when I played FFXIII for the first time. I discovered this remix three years ago and still is so gorgeous and dope to listen. Thanks for this amazing job, the words isn't enough to tell you how I appreciate this beautiful piece. 💜👾
heard a drum and bass song today in passing that reminded me of this gem. i've come to love a lot of what you've posted on OCR over the years, but these tracks you do for your wife have a beauty and carry an emotion that are hard to forget in the best way. thank you for sharing this with us. love this track.
Thanks so much for the kind words. I wrote these two (blue skies and a ring and a promise) for my ex wife (I’m remarried now) but I wrote them in such a way that it would be relatable for anyone that listens, a universal meaning within the lyrics. I actually plan on writing another one using the final fantasy 4 main theme with lyrics over the main melody. Probably going to do it this year 😎🙏
this has been one of my alltime favorite OC remixes since it came out - one of those songs you listen to over and over through different periods and associate the song with distinct memories. thank you for making this beaut
After hearing it back in 2012 I came back recently and just now realized this was a cover... even though I played 13, I always thought this was in the game 🤦🏾 ah well, still love it either way!
Ahh I love that part at 4:18 with that one sweet sound, it's so nice how you used it in other areas too like at 1:40, then it just comes right in at the great ending. It's so meaningful, and it makes me feel so good. This is such a nice song, and it begins so well. It almost inspires me to want to try making something of my own, but this music is true talent.
Hey bLiNd, I have to say I'm glad to see you are still doing remixes. I downloaded your temple trance 10 years ago! This one has to be my favorite you have done though.
Just found this from a pokemon video surprisingly. I knew this sounded so nostalgic but couldn't place why! Best remix I've listened to in a long time!
UMMM.....This is truly the sickest mix i have ever heard. I could seriously put this on rewind the whole time and not be phased... This and the extended Snow's Theme back to back? I've been following you on ocre remix and you just keep coming up with mix after mix of euphoria....Please continue
this is badass. lyrics are great too, they work well with gears as well. but much better with final fantasy of course, nice job i look forward to listening to more of your remixes
I gotta say man, you literally tear every electrical genre to pieces. I love all your work man, you're a great inspiration for my tunes and your video game remixes are the best i've heard, specifically your final fantasy and chrono trigger ones to me :) Damn though I've never heard you make much Drum n bass stuff or use the Dub so perfectly! this song is pure genius, keep up the good work man!!
Hey blind, just wanted to say, your Jenova Celestial is amazing. I usually listen to some pretty heavy music but damn, love that song! So nostalgic as well..
Ooh! Ooh! I was so busy trolling I almost forgot to say how freaking BEAUTIFUL and GENIOUS the vocals and lyrics were! You're obviously a freaking genious veteran and after a second listen, I totally changed my mind about the dubstep--I LOVE the unexpected variety and it brings a cool new atmosphere into the song! PERFECT REMIX~~!!! :D
@bLiNdTrance Thanks! I'll look into it. I kinda want to get started in this kind of thing as a hobby for when I am finished finals. Which Plug-ins do you recommend? Or Should I just look for some fit with my preference?
I actually wrote a book last year on recommended Plugins. www.blindedm.com/shop > look for the ebook > $7 and its a PDF download and I got into how I do my sound, basically it will help you realize what you're looking for and why!
@bLiNdTrance if you are, then check them out. Go to The Escapist Magazine's site, click on video, then seires index, or if you scroll down and you should see their name on the right. Their latest video, The Role of the Player, is the one that advertises your song
This is a freaking BAD-APPLE remix (yes, that's a good thing; ha ha) but once it got to what you call "dubstep," meerrrh...I appreciate the attempt to help make OCR more well-rounded, but...it was a little half-"appled" ha ha Dub step needs to be all or nothing. It was a good try though--really close! But I still like it, and this is by far my favorite OCRemix out there!!!! And your description made me so anxious to get married :] ha ha I hope I have a wife that appreciates video games! Dream!
@@bLiNdEDM If you do, I would definitely love to see your current style on the FFXIII soundtrack after all these years! I still come back and listen to Blue Skies every few months, its a favourite.
@TheAdventuresofAaron Hey! I use Cubase to sequence all of my music, though the program doesn't matter as much as the plugins you use for the sound results ;)
Damn man this is good! have you ever thought about getting you're music promoted from liquicity? Terradnb? or any other dnb promoters out there? you should because this is just amazing! everyone needs to listen to this!!!
@bLiNdTrance Yeah, pretty much what @silentasasin93 just said ^^ You should check them out on The Escapist website. It's a pretty ingenious show if you ask me :) Will also sub, btw. Just so you know ^^
I really love this song. But I have one question. I've listened to the original non-mixed version of this song several times and I've never once heard the lyrics that are in this version. Where did they come from?
Is it possible that you upload this onto Spotify??? I don't want to subscribe to TH-cam red but feel I may have to in order to listen music offline when I leave the house
@ShiningOmega @bateracidinc @CptSpiffyPanda I have never actually heard of Extra Credits. But I got a flood of subscribers today, interested in this show!
@@bLiNdEDM bro I just came from an FF symphony and Masashi Hamauzu was two rows and directly in front of me ;_; It was a FF7R symphony. His hair was fabulous.
@CptSpiffyPanda ocremix.org/artist/4440/blind/remixes If you liked "White Skies", you'll probably like "Snowbound" and "Meteorave" too! These songs got me through my earlier years in college lol

My pleasure. Thanks for listening 😎
12 years later, this track still gets me pumped up during a workout.
The world needs more of this.
Please?
Man, i always come back here
After hearing it back in 2012 I came back recently and just now realized this was a cover... even though I played 13, I always thought this was in the game 🤦🏾 ah well, still love it either way!
Yea i basically re-imagined it and rewrote the lyrics to suite my needs hehe
Listening 2k21 and counting😌

Usually I don't like remixes of songs. Or anything that sounds dubstep-like....
But this...
This is amazing..... :')
same here
👍
I LOVE this remix. Even though I liked the original, this one is far better! Great job!
Just found this from a pokemon video surprisingly. I knew this sounded so nostalgic but couldn't place why! Best remix I've listened to in a long time!
The gods of the TH-cam algorithm have summoned upon my viewing of this video once more!

Amazing..... My only words!!!!!
I really really love this piece of music :)
First 44 seconds are fantastic! No loop for this part, guys? Great song and big thanks to you, bLiNd ;-)
Ooooo a remix for one of the tracks from my favorite ff entry?? Yes please!!
this is badass. lyrics are great too, they work well with gears as well. but much better with final fantasy of course, nice job i look forward to listening to more of your remixes

Loved this!! playing ff13 while havin this on repeat is great
this is such a beautiful mix
I used to listen to this on the bus to school 😢
That’s awesome!
Two people were apparently hard of hearing when they heard this song and disliked it.
Firs found this when i was in 9 grade this was back in 2016 I still love this remix very much
Considering doing a reboot of it since so many love this one. Stay tuned
When I heard it the first time I thought this was 'professional' music. Great song.
This was.. Truely Amazing! You must do moar!
Hey blind, just wanted to say, your Jenova Celestial is amazing. I usually listen to some pretty heavy music but damn, love that song! So nostalgic as well..
Marvelous remix!
still a gem!
Now that's a well done remix. Loving it.
Ooh! Ooh! I was so busy trolling I almost forgot to say how freaking BEAUTIFUL and GENIOUS the vocals and lyrics were!

Omggg heavenly remixed!!!!
I was feeling it would be good to listen to this for the new year 2014 ^^

@CptSpiffyPanda Ditto! Anxious to see how much the view count goes up from the publicity EC gave it.
@RagnarockXL I love this song. I think it's an awesome remix. Props to you for making this :). Have you made any other FF13 remixes?
I haven't, but I should
@bLiNdTrance Thanks! I'll look into it. I kinda want to get started in this kind of thing as a hobby for when I am finished finals.

@chuckles1252 I did use Massive for the basses in this track
This deserve more Views! are you gonna do anymore FFXIII remixes?
i really loved the dubstep ^^
I should revisit the soundtrack and see what feels nice
@@bLiNdEDM If you do, I would definitely love to see your current style on the FFXIII soundtrack after all these years! I still come back and listen to Blue Skies every few months, its a favourite.
@@BlazeFireSaberK definitely in my todo list in my head. Better write it down 😎🙏
More MORE MORE
hoping you'll one day complete the three colors trilogy and give us Red Skies...
That's a good idea!
Fire!
This is really great! You also did work for Liminality: The Silent Hill inspired album,didn't you?
hmm cant say i did!
@TheAdventuresofAaron Hey! I use Cubase to sequence all of my music, though the program doesn't matter as much as the plugins you use for the sound results ;)
Cant find thisnis SoundCloud...i wnw listen thisbwjen I workout
Would like this extended again, but...
AHHH I CANT FIND the Download awesome song button!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Came back to listen to his after being disappointed by the soundtrack for the new Dissidia so far -__-
They should have hired you lol
+Darron Pirtheesingh haha thanks for the kinds words
True words, too
I also saw that you have a Metroid Album, just bought it, good stuff :)
Darron Pirtheesingh awesome thanks for the support!
+bLiNd Work like yours should be aptly rewarded, you're welcome ^_^
actually no, never heard of that! But thanks!!
Damn man this is good! have you ever thought about getting you're music promoted from liquicity? Terradnb? or any other dnb promoters out there? you should because this is just amazing! everyone needs to listen to this!!!
Extra Credits!
@bLiNdTrance you should upload a version without the trance. =] she h as a beautiful voice and I'd love to hear it without the trance stuff ^^
@bLiNdTrance Seriously? Cool. Was it Ashleigh Coryell who did the singing?
@bLiNdTrance Yeah, pretty much what @silentasasin93 just said ^^
You should check them out on The Escapist website. It's a pretty ingenious show if you ask me :)
Will also sub, btw. Just so you know ^^
8 years later 💅
Did you really make this track? In case it's affirmative, really good work there.
Yes!
I really love this song. But I have one question.
I've listened to the original non-mixed version of this song several times and I've never once heard the lyrics that are in this version. Where did they come from?
My heart
You are correct, sir. There is nowhere near enough drum'n'bass or dubstep on OCR.
@sounddesignerr Hey thanks! And no, still haven't played the game LOL
Is it possible that you upload this onto Spotify??? I don't want to subscribe to TH-cam red but feel I may have to in order to listen music offline when I leave the house
Unless you have music on Apple Music then it's all g I'll sub to that
I'm in the process of clearing all my remixes. Eventually they will all be up there.
@ShiningOmega @bateracidinc @CptSpiffyPanda I have never actually heard of Extra Credits. But I got a flood of subscribers today, interested in this show!
could you extend this to a least 15 mins?
❤❤❤❤❤
is this gonna be on OCR? also, you should use vocals more often. this is just... wow!!!
It is! Has been for a bit...I think I'll send some new mixes in sooon.
@@bLiNdEDM bro I just came from an FF symphony and Masashi Hamauzu was two rows and directly in front of me ;_; It was a FF7R symphony. His hair was fabulous.
Hey bLiNd, I am just curious to know what program you did to make this! Thanks!
Cubase!
@Darkozl thanks! go check the front page :P
OCRemix has it.
@RagnarockXL I wrote them :P
@RagnarockXL Yes
@bLiNdTrance well then what plugins did you use? NI Massive?
i like the beginning until the after the girl finished singing
@CptSpiffyPanda
ocremix.org/artist/4440/blind/remixes
If you liked "White Skies", you'll probably like "Snowbound" and "Meteorave" too! These songs got me through my earlier years in college lol
excellent work even though to be honest I didn't even like FF13. I thought the musical scores were the best part.
@bLiNdTrance Ha :)
