Komaru Naegi and after they die their Pokemon will remain without a trainer, lonely and sad, or stuck in the pc box, unknown to the fact their trainer has died, happily waiting for the next time to come out and battle....
This cover is such a fine example of not only the glory of Gen 4 music but also of phenomenal use of texture and dynamic contrast in arrangement itself. The instrumentation of the intro using only lower-register voices created such a distinct, unique timbre (something I’ve found you are very adept at with each of your covers). And appropriately, the intro was specifically leading into something, with the contrast provided by the swelling brass chorus. The two sides of this contrast compliment each other so incredibly well, it’s insane (in the rain). Overall, the piece feels so distinctly coherent in its overall theme, as many people are likening it to a pleasant mix of a ‘relaxing countryside’ and a ‘bustling city’. Of course, that element is already imbedded in the composition of the original track, but this arrangement flawlessly captures and taps into that essence in such a special, nostalgic way! I’ll look forward to adding this to my playlist and listening to it again in the future! 👏
Hands down the best cover of the best city theme in all of Pokemon. Gen5 may be my favorite, but nothing screams "nostalgia" like Eterna City does. Now, if you don't mind I'll be crying myself to sleep with this on repeat
There's something just super magical about Sinnoh music. I feel that same sentiment just goes for a lot of tracks across the different Pokémon generations, but it really feels like some of the best of the best was jam packed into the Gen 4 games. In my humble opinion, anyways. Great cover as always!
I think Eterna City's theme is one of the most underrated tracks in Sinnoh. This arrangement was absolutely fantastic, Carlos. Thanks for doing the Year of Sinnoh and shedding light on how incredible the 4th generation's soundtrack is.
This was fantastic, I don't even know how to describe it any more. That high F# was really something and your Bari Sax playing is amazing, you really have a great tone. The beginning where it was just the Bari Sax, Bass Clarinet, and Upright Bass was truly one of my favorite parts in this cover to show that "bass" instruments can sound just as lovely and smooth as the others. Well done!! :D
Thanks! I really like my bari tone haha, I think my tone sounds best on the low woodwinds! And yes, I really wanted to write for a unique combination of low instruments in the intro :)
Bruh, Nintendo now has 3 sick versions of this song by you to choose from for their remake, Ichinose got it easy :P Also, amazing job! You never cease to amaze, Carlos! Can't wait for the album!
You and your music are one of the few things today that can take me away from all the chaos in the world and school and just be happy. Thank you so much for what you do. You are truly so talented and I love and appreciate all you do! Keep it up! I’ll always be here to support you!
Thank you sooo much Yeester! I really appreciate hearing that! I do my best to create my own little world and story with each of these arrangements in the hopes that someone else can experience the world in the same way that I did for the duration of the song... :)
I relate to this comment so much it’s not even funny... Tysm Carlos for making such amazing covers and never failing to amaze me with your pure skill and talent in both arranging and playing!
Holy Quack. Can we just talk about the drop at 3:22? It's like, all the D/P/PT story, all fights, the team you've had, and experience you've earned in your playthrough, just jumps through your brain in a second and want's you to fight again! Goosebumps included.
The Eterna theme always gave me "sheriff lazily strolling through an old Western town on his horse" vibes. How you managed to adapt it here is just incredible. Now it sounds like the music that would play when you're sniffing the fresh air on the balcony of a classy hotel while looking down into the big lit city beneath a sliver moon. Pretty great ambience, love how you're flaunting that saxophone too.
I again can't thank you enough for creating this masterpiece. I used this for my college audition since I'm a bari sax player and I am now attending that college. The whole vibe of the piece is amazing and the solo is so well formatted and created. Thank you for being an amazing introduction for me into the jazz world, I wouldn't be the musician I am without you.
I’ve been struggling with suppressed anxiety for years now, and handling it a little better in recent years with therapy and medication. Listened to this song on some new headphones gifted from a friend. The surge of nostalgia and brassy beauty that washed over triggered what I thought was a panic attack because I started crying, until I realized I was smiling. I don’t know what it is about this track or that part of the game, but for the first time ever, I cried tears of joy. Thank you.
4:50 giving me some mysterious ancient dialga statue vibes. also the fact you can play notes that high is mind boggling. i think this is the best sinnoh piece so far
Whenever I listened to Eterna City I always pictured myself going back to the town when I was super old and remembering my childhood playing diamond. Such a nostalgia inducing song, and a great job on the cover!
Just got to Eterna City - finally replaying Pokémon Platinum after several several years. I grew up with Platinum so it holds a very special place in my heart.
That first bari solo hits so hard every time -- my favorite of the year of Sinnoh and my fav song in the games. coming back at least weekly to this even a year later. What a great arrangement.
There are a small number of moments in music that I like that are so perfect, they give me chills. It's usually good harmony, or good shredding solos. 3:53 has now become one of those moments. The long suspended 4 with the added suspended 2 in the bari and the overall mix of that chord is SO GOOD. This is now probably tied with Mt. Coronet for my favorite Year of Sinnoh cover...well done as always, Carlos!
The lead up from the Trumpets at 3:23 and everything following it made me drop my phone and just listen in amazement What a wonderful cover/arrangement
Hi Carlos, just a quick tip from a trumpetist here: Try to keep the top and bottom edges of your mouthpiece off your lips (so called "playing in the red"). The lip tissue isn't really up to the task of putting pressure for a long time, yet the parts around your lips are. There are many videos online talking about this if you want to learn more (just look up "playing in the red", I recommend Charlie Porters videos, they are top-notch!).
Thank you! I am working very hard on fixing my embouchure haha, I have noticed that I have that tendency, so I am working on figuring out how to set my embouchure so I don't play in the red. I actually have an online lesson booked with Charlie Porter next week (watched tonssss of his vids) to help sort that out! Thanks for helping confirm my self-diagnosis!
@@insaneintherainmusic No problem! You definitely play quite well already, I started when I was around 5 so that's of course a totally different situation but as someone who has helped quite a lot of people who started later I can very surely say that you are on a very nice path, wishing you good luck!
you hit the nail on the head with the "old dude sitting in a rocking chair" description, that was always what I thought of when I heard this track as a kid
Never listened to a track that made me cry in the first few seconds before, nostalgia is really a son of a gun sometimes but I never expected this song to be it. It’s a really good track by all means, I absolutely love it and am reminded of when I was smacked in the face while playing Y and hearing that familiar Jubilife theme stripped of its sax and played so wonderfully. Keep up the amazing work my guy, me and many others can’t get enough of your well written arrangements and remixes!
The last time I ever got to see my grandmother, this was the song that shuffled on when I was on my way there. She always lived in her small quiet town out in the middle of nowhere and lived a simple kind life. This song now to me is a sorta reminder of her simple way, and of the nostalgia I'll always have of going up to visit her on holidays. She might not have been someone extraordinary, but she was special to me. Thanks for the music Carlos, every time I hear this track it's like we just said goodbye.
Hard to word why I love this. Its so relaxing but energizing at the same time. Kinda gives the feeling that you went through hard stuff but its over now and you can rest. Tomorrow will have its own worries but for now, rest up.
Eterna City will always be one of my favorite cities in Pokémon. With the gym, the legend statue, the galactic base, Oak, and especially the music it’s so memorable to me. This arrangement is really calming and hits me with a storm of nostalgia.
I was stalking your channel just this morning, wishing you had an Eterna City jazz cover. Several hours later I find this in my recommended. You're the best!
Not only you make great video game music covers, you also translate the passion into the description. (Nostalgia feels came from the first paragraph, and from the start of the song) It was amazing to read the desceiption trough out the video playing, and be around 3:22 for the climax, and actually expect it, and enjoy the song even more. Thanks for all the cool vibes you put into your videos Carlos
One of my favorite Sinnoh songs. I accessed my secret base from Eterna City, just below one of the bikes at the bike shop. I used to sit there and listen to the music. Thank you for all these amazing renditions.
"The town that ties the past to now." ... Man this is amazing, Eterna city theme always had a special place in my heart, my all time favourite. These simple times that you talk about in the description, this feeling of reminiscing, this piece of music really does it for me. You did an amazing job, thank you so much :)
My friends and I exaggerate a lot about how much we enjoy something, but for once, I actually shivered in delight when this graced my full volume earbuds on autoplay
This is still, to this day, my favourite cover of all time. When all the brass breaks both in 0:50 and 1:21 I feel chills all over my spine, every single time. An incredible job, keep it up for many more years to come!
Usually I’m not the hugest fan of the Eterna/Celestic music, but you made it so chill and relaxing! Always love listening to your work while on my computer either doing homework or writing! Your Eterna Forest theme is still my favorite, love listening to it while driving!
Eterna City is by far my favorite track from Sinnoh. To calm down I used to just leave the game open on it and turn the volume on my DS all the way up. Your piece just brings so much life to the track. It’s like my childhood song has been revamped for a new phase in life. I love it!!
What an awesome hit of nostalgia, I absolutely adore the 4th gen games! This arrangement is stunning, and those low notes... so beautiful. Thanks for brightening my day!
Wow, this is a masterpiece worthy of awards. I got chills that haven't gone away for a few minutes now lol. Thank you so much for this beautiful cover of one of my fave video game songs.
baritone sax is a divine instrument and you make amazing use of it here - wish they weren't so expensive, lol. i also LOVE the hops starting around 1:00, SO good
I am so glad, you extended the Year of Sinnoh, the video, the music and the edits are truely amazing! Thank you very much, I'll make sure to buy tha album once it comes out.
I got chills throughout this. What an absolutely stellar arrangement! It really brings me to a simpler time. I've been listening to your stuff for years now, and you never fail to impress me my man. Keep up with the incredible work!
Thanks for the amazing birthday gift! Eterna city is one of my favorites and sinnoh holds a very special place in my heart, so the whole year of sinnoh is an even bigger gift.
Man I still remember being excited about precipitation dropping all those years ago. And Eterna City (along with National Park maybe) was always my favorite track. Never thought I'd get this much nostalgia for a cover of a song that gave me nostalgia, but man does nostalgia-ception feel good. Keep up the great work man.
Your original piece in precipitations has been a staple of my study playlist for over a year now and this one will soon be joining it. Keep up the great work!
The part at 4:57 reminds me of the intro to Dialga/Palkia's battle theme, which is perfect because their statue is in Eterna. Anyway this is amazing man, thanks for the great start to the weekend!
Dude this music hit so hard I started tearing up at the bass clarinet intro 😭 Carlos, you've done Gen 4 justice. I often boast about how you influenced me as a saxophonist to explore other sonic avenues and become more of a principle player in every ensemble I'm in. While I may be going on a whole new musical journey from where I was when I first found your music, I'm happy that your arrangements still make me feel the same way they did when I first found them. Keep on jamming out, man. Oh, and Ronnie Cuber's got nothing on you. 🎷
I'm actually coming back to just listen to this because it puts me at such warm, fuzzy ease. Eterna City's been a favorite of mine forever, and your cover is so, so GOOOOOOD...
its rare when i get the opportunity to say this, but this cover makes me feel like im alive, and i am grateful to live so that i can listen to this. fantastic job!
HOLY SHIT. I this arrangement hit me with nostalgia down to my very core. I never would have thought Eterna City would make for such a good jazz arrangement. I think my urethra just exploded. I'm not even mad about it. Thank you, good sir(s)
Eterna City is one of the hardest hitting soundtracks nostalgia-wise for me. Didn't know I needed a Big Band arrangement until now.
I think it suits the big band aesthetic very nicely!
insaneintherainmusic Definitely!
Yeah, mostly because I was stuck there for a while as a kid, so I heard this theme a lot.
saame, this hit me haaard. nostalgia heaven
I have been waiting for another version of this with (calm?) excitement and it's amazing!!!! Most nostaligia with this song.
I am a simple man.
I see bari sax feature, I click.
This is one of the best comments I've seen ever !!!
Bari gang rise up
SAME tho XD
And am a simple sample.
Not only that, there are all those low As all the way through. Love it. And no, the bari gang goes all the way down
This really is "insaneinthepog"
That felt like it could suit both a calm countryside *AND* a big city. Phenomenal work Carlos!
I think the original tune does that very well, and that's what I wanted to capture! Thank you so much!
Well.. It is eterna "city"
@@hvalentine9909 And Soleceon Town
@@Flarezap you mean Celestic Town. Solaceon Town shares the same song with Pastoria City
Eterna city seems like the perfect small town vacation spot to just go and do nothing. To just sit there at the park and chill out
Sometimes i did that, as a kid. I would plug my headphones in and fall asleep listening to this town music, or Route 209.
Perfect place to talk to a old man get a helmet save the game for lota data and make a underground base and don't see sunlight for 3 days
Out of the 17 birthdays I've had, this one was definitely the best one
Happy birthday! Hope this song made yours just a bit better :)
Happy birthday !!!
Happy 17th!
Next year you can finally not vote
Ah, 18 now! I'm fifteen, on to 16 in a few months :D
Eterna city sounds like where cowboys go to yee their last haw
So they go to Eterna City to die? Dark.
Komaru Naegi kind of, but i was thinking more of retirement
Komaru Naegi and after they die their Pokemon will remain without a trainer, lonely and sad, or stuck in the pc box, unknown to the fact their trainer has died, happily waiting for the next time to come out and battle....
@@frogboi5199 lmao, what a waste of good food. yes i like dark jokes dont judge me
meepacheep taste just as good as their free labour
Critics are raving about Carlos Eiene’s “Eterna City.”
- “Absolutely Enamoring”
- “Utterly Stunning”
- “Incredibly Tasteful”
- "Nostalgic"
- "Remarkable"
- "7/10 too much moist."
“Eats baguette”
-"I miss her"
This arrangement is so chill and relaxing. Reminds me of childhood.
Thanks! That's how I feel too!
It's such a nostalgic theme isn't it
Same!
There's nary a theme that makes me feel closer to an old man than this one.
Even as an 18-year old.
It's such a great old man song haha
Same
It’s got some serious rocking chair vibes man
You perfectly encapsulated the feeling, thank you. -a fellow 18-year old
Dang Carlos I see you! Lovely solo towards the end, can see you having fun with that one haha
Glitch! ❤️

Goosebumps included.
things like this make me so happy to be a part of the pokemon community
I love it, at 3:35 the trumpet player has the face of "wow, I just did that" 😂.
Carlos, you should do a cover of the TH-cam premier countdown music
OMG YES
Agreed, it would sound amazing
please no that's the worst music I ever heard
@@Spilyah so let him make it sound better
Yes
The Eterna theme always gave me "sheriff lazily strolling through an old Western town on his horse" vibes. How you managed to adapt it here is just incredible. Now it sounds like the music that would play when you're sniffing the fresh air on the balcony of a classy hotel while looking down into the big lit city beneath a sliver moon.

So Precipitation was a quintet, and now we've evolved to big band? Now that's pretty insane.

Whenever I listened to Eterna City I always pictured myself going back to the town when I was super old and remembering my childhood playing diamond. Such a nostalgia inducing song, and a great job on the cover!
This is the TRUE love for Pokémon here, this shows how much it means to people.
Just got to Eterna City - finally replaying Pokémon Platinum after several several years. I grew up with Platinum so it holds a very special place in my heart.
3:22 is peak. Absolutely incredible and is what makes me love this song. Crazy how you can make me feel nostalgic for a game I havent even played.
My favorite track from ALL of Pokémon.
I have been waiting for this one 😭
Idk why but I feel like this should be playing while Travis Bickle drives around NY in Taxi Driver
That first bari solo hits so hard every time -- my favorite of the year of Sinnoh and my fav song in the games. coming back at least weekly to this even a year later. What a great arrangement.
how to combine jazz with one of the most amazing games of this generation, simply beautiful

3:47 his cat is back lol. Will it be a tradition to have his cat in his part now?
I guess so!
Ask him if the cat goes in for no reason or if he puts the cat in for everyone to see.

That bari tone is absolutely heavenly
You can see the trumpet (top left) thought he blew it on that high note at 3:33. You killed it man!
You just... flawlessly captured the nature of this song. It's so perfect I'm oddly on the verge of tears.

The part at 4:57 reminds me of the intro to Dialga/Palkia's battle theme, which is perfect because their statue is in Eterna.
Anyway this is amazing man, thanks for the great start to the weekend!
Haha, that's a weird association that I don't think I would have made, interesting! Thank you :)
“Everything Else - Me!” I love this little bit
Man; with all these wind instruments and the oboe(?) in the beginning, this song really hits different in the best way possible.
Dude this music hit so hard I started tearing up at the bass clarinet intro 😭
Carlos, you've done Gen 4 justice. I often boast about how you influenced me as a saxophonist to explore other sonic avenues and become more of a principle player in every ensemble I'm in. While I may be going on a whole new musical journey from where I was when I first found your music, I'm happy that your arrangements still make me feel the same way they did when I first found them.
Keep on jamming out, man.
Oh, and Ronnie Cuber's got nothing on you. 🎷
The nostalgia in this video spoke to my SOUL, dude
Thank you for existing. All my best wishes to all of you. Keep warming our souls with these masterpieces. Love you.
This is legitimately the best thing I’ve heard in months. Phenomenal work, I am now a Carlos fan!
What a beautiful arrangement. I have so many memories with this track.
Probably my favorite from the year of sinnoh so far. I'll have to go back and see for sure but I think this is it.
This is amazing. My first Pokémon has platinum and it was the most fitting
I'm actually coming back to just listen to this because it puts me at such warm, fuzzy ease. Eterna City's been a favorite of mine forever, and your cover is so, so GOOOOOOD...
its rare when i get the opportunity to say this, but this cover makes me feel like im alive, and i am grateful to live so that i can listen to this. fantastic job!
you put so much personality into your music and i love it
I love these jazz covers, they’re so nostalgic!
I feel like I just finished a detective movie and I feel sad for the protagonist who is walking back into the night alone, but happy.
I love the slow and energetic parts so much! Amazing!
HOLY SHIT. I this arrangement hit me with nostalgia down to my very core. I never would have thought Eterna City would make for such a good jazz arrangement. I think my urethra just exploded. I'm not even mad about it. Thank you, good sir(s)
