Always surreal to hear updated versions of your covers, cause I've heard the original covers of yours probably close to 100 times. (literally) It's like unlocking a different version of a track in a video game. And I can honestly say this one is better, and perfects a lot of parts that the original cover had.
What an amazing description for what it was to hear the original arrangement and now the new one (can totally relate to hearing his arrangements so many times)
I just double checked if this comment was mine from a while ago because I've had this thought over and over while listening to these tracks. Frankly it's a little startling to read such an accurate comment about your own thoughts lol
Eterna Forest already hit different. Then this absolute CHAD had to come in here and have it hit different differnt. Then he said, "I'm gone make it hit different different different" with ANOTHER jazz remix. lawd.
This video is tremendously important to me, and I am so excited to share it with you! My original Eterna Forest video is by far my most popular Sinnoh cover, and it's also a very personal song to me! Check out the original arrangement if you haven't, and I invite you to compare it to this one! th-cam.com/video/hRGs8UovlTE/w-d-xo.html I've wanted to redo this song for quite some time, but have always been so nervous to do it because I love the original so much. This video is getting uploaded on August 29th, which is my birthday (it's a good year when birthday aligns with a Saturday upload day haha), and I'm treating this day as a special occasion to finally release this new updated recording. Thanks everyone so much for listening over the years, and long live this version of Eterna Forest :)
No way I’m missing this. And happy birthday too, while I’m here. Your covers have been great motivation to learn and improve at music in general. Thanks for being you!
To think we went from demented underground Carlos with a pickaxe to seemingly normal Carlos is truly astonishing. And of course Happy Birthday! Wishing you well.
he is giving the birthday present to us, on HIS birthday. just wanna say this is incredible, i love how everything turned out, it really feels like a true remaster of what you did years ago. also i must say, that ending was very touching. :)
I’m actually SO GLAD that you kept the Route 209 and Pokemon Main Theme references in there! They were perfect the first time and were perfect this time as well!
This arrangement is astounding; I think we all can appreciate that. But I’d just like to point out that this seems to be one of your best-edited videos yet. The crop layouts are all super fun and vibrant (0:18 and 4:10 are examples that really stand out)...we see a tasteful return of your classic “snow” effect, paying homage to the original cover of this that served as a first impression for many viewers (myself included)...the camera-work on individual shots of the orchestra is so expressive and dynamic....it’s clear that this project has so many unseen layers of production involved in the filming and editing aspect alone, not to mention the time arranging and practice and coordinating with all those orchestra players! This looks and feels like one of your most professional music videos yet, which is by itself something to be proud of! You’re adding an air of professionalism and respect for the unsung greatness of VGM, which is actively fulfilling, if I remember correctly, one of the foremost goals of this channel.
Thank you! I’ve been going light on the snow effects lately since they don’t look as good as I thought on TH-cam with the way that TH-cam handles video compression, but I knew I had to use it to reference the original video! In fact I used a lot of the same particles at the same time haha! And you’re right about the rest of your comment too! I’m treating this very professionally, and there are a LOT of layers that went into making this production a reality... haha
I was actually going to comment about this being like a birthday present to me (my 18th was yesterday- the first away from family), but your birthday is TODAY so HAPPY BIRTHDAY and I hope today treats you especially well!! -signed by an avid listener who loves watching your content and progression as a musician
I can’t tell if you were crying at the end or just super emotional but either way I know I sure as hell was! Great cover as always man, and happy birthday! You’re the best!
WHAT THE i literally just discovered your original remix earlier this week and have been listening to it everyday! I've been listening to it during my walks in the park and it's been divine. Can't wait!!!
OKAY so, all the hype and buildup for this moment is WELL worth it, and tbh the music was just as awesome as the original, if not more so in its own way! But, the thing that really got me was the ending. Seeing everyone so happy that the take went well, seeing Carlos on the floor... you can tell this means something to him, and a lot, at that. And you can *see* it. A creator having that glorious experience of one of his greatest works come to fruition right in front of his eyes. The memories, the meaning, he's experiencing it all at once. Carlos, if you're reading this, thank you for showing that experience you had at the end, and thank you for the whole video, too. And most of all, I hope you have a spectacular birthday :)
Haha! I cut out the camera audio from the end of the video, but I was actually on the floor laughing / crying lol, my engineer had just played a prank on me, so I was really happy from that recording being finished AND that joke being made lol
It’s great to hear these tracks reimagined with live instruments. Someone has got to make a rom-hack with your arrangements as the BGM for these games. I wonder if it would actually translate well or if the music would be too distracting 😂
I don’t think the DS has the processing power/memory to play back recorded music like that Also modding that into the game itself would probably take some maaaaajor legwork, given we take it as possible
Seriously, when is Nintendo going to contact you to do official music for their games? This arrangement has so much depth and soul, and it would blow my mind if I heard a song with so much care put into it in a game. Amazing job as always Carlos!!!
Carlos, I just wanted to leave a comment letting you know how appreciative I am of you. I discovered you a few years ago, and seeing someone only a few years older than me doing such great things with music has inspired me in more ways than I can put into words. I also wanted to add that, funnily enough, as kid I never played many of the games you feature in your videos. So, although I’m sure you have no doubt about this, your work absolutely stands up as great music on it’s own, with or without the nostalgic connection. Keep making great music man!
Thank you Jakob! I try my best to make my music special regardless of if you have any familiarity with the source material. Of course, that familiarity just makes it that much more special...!
Man I can't even describe in words how much I love this. I'm pretty sure your first Eterna Forest arrangement is the song from you I've listened to the most, and I think it might have pushed me to fall back in love with sinnoh so many years after the games came out. Getting the chance to hear it again and updated just fills me with so many emotions. Thank you so much, your music has truly touched me.
Oh. My. Goodness. You have no idea how much this song made my entire day better. I sat down and listened to it with my headphones after a really mentally hard day and it was like magic! I just felt so happy and energized all the sudden! Thanks so much!!!!
I think my favorite part of this video besides the music and the buildup is the fact that everyone looks like they’re having a blast. All the smiles and the happiness while playing really made me feel good in a weird way. I love all the hard work you people put into this. It’s amazing and I can’t stop listening to this.
ive been following you for years and the original eterna forest rearrangement is probably my fav piece of yours, i used to listen to it while writing when i was still in high school and im incredibly attached to it... and listening to this new version made me tear up a little. it kinda feels like the epic and emotional rearrangement of the first route bgm that plays during the final climax of a game, i could hear the passion and love in every single note of it. it was beautiful. thank you so much for your music and all the emotions that youve given us during these years, youre an amazing musician!
I love how active the woodwinds are at the end. Also I really love how the saxes have the 16th note minor 7th arpeggios keeping the rhythm in the first part where everything starts happening!
A very happy birthday indeed! You've completely enhanced the sonic "identity" of your arrangement from the last one, and having extraordinary players alongside you really brings this out. I can't imagine playing this level again without knowing you've perfected it! Unless when you turn 32 we get one more....
Geez, that section from 4:11 to 4:38 literally almost brought a tear to my eye. This cover has a lot of variety and polish and that clarinet at the beginning is a REALLY lovely touch. You've seriously outdone yourself with this re-do!
It’s amazing how even the faster and more energetic sections of this cover are soothing to listen to. You not only get the feeling of a beautiful forest, but one that’s also teeming with life.
I feel like you typically throw a lot of passion into your videos, but this one. This one is just bursting with heart and soul. You make some of the best arrangements, keep it up Carlos!
Now THIS is the Pokémon we need. You sought to improve upon your previous arrangement and you succeeded perfectly. Thank you Carlos, and happy birthday. Please accept our joy and gratitude as a gift for your incredible work. ☺️🎉
This is seriously one of, if not the best arrangement of any VGM song that I have ever heard, hands down. In fact, this is my favorite piece of music that I've heard in quite a long while. The energy, emotional depth, and vibrancy that you bring to this track is insane! There are just so many elements to love throughout. From the excitement and drive of the arpeggiated full band section with that gliding melody line overtop, to small things like the natural textures of the toca seed shaker. Just really great job man! I saw you at MAGfest a few years back in that little cafe bar section in the main lobby, but I can't wait for the day that I get to see you on the main stage with your own big band behind you! Keep it up!
Wow, I remember playing this game & hearing the beautiful music coming from eterna forest in 2007 back in elementary when this game had came out, 15 years ago.. thanks for the upload!! It brought back so many memories.
I'll always love how the sun shines through the shadows of the trees in Eterna Forest. Thanks for all the wonderful covers, and I hope you have a great birthday!
2:20 gives me so many chills that sax solo is amazing and the build up from 3:50 to the groove at 4:10 is so good this is easily my fav of the year of sinnoh
Absolutely stunning dude, I've listened to your first version of Eterna Forest countless times and you've made it even better. This is the musical equivalent of Cheryl healing my pokémon after every fight
This one pulls on the heart strings... for someone who has never experienced Pokemon, this is an unexplainable feeling when im listening to this...like so many people we need an escape from life...to get away and your music helps me and so many other people achieve that escape...Thank you so much for the music you continue to produce and will keep producing. Love you and your music. Keep up the amazing work and continue to be a musical inspiration to so many others
I listened to the original Eterna Forest a few weeks back and I got such a wave of nostalgia from listening to it, and I get that from this and so much more. It’s just as mysterious and serene as the original but adds so much energy to some parts and it all just sounds so good! Thank you to everyone working on this and all of these videos and Happy Birthday Carlos! It’s really hard to express just how much I love this arrangement but I hope this can suffice.
Fantastic craftsmanship Carlos! I remember your Eterna Forest was the first uploaded video I watched after I subscribed back in 2016 and boy I am glad to see how much I've seen you grow and constantly improve. This was a sensational, vibrant arrangement highlighting the amazing things you learnt along the way and I almost shed tears when I heard your iconic saxophone melodic tone at 1:57. Be so very proud with how far you've come and I look forward to more fam xx And have a flipping great birthday
Is it weird that I feel kinda proud of seeing you conducting a full orchestra? You are great at your stuff! I watched your last video and all, but I'm so glad you decided to do this one before quitting.
Oh my goodness this has to be my favorite TH-cam video of all time! When I first heard this arrangement on the CD, I fell in love and it’s my favorite song out of every single one on all three CDs. I’ve listened to it tens of times already and I most certainly will never be getting sick of it. It leaves me with such a good feeling inside. I keep listening back to pick apart more layers and hear everything that the piece really has to offer and it only makes me love it more in the end. I would absolutely love to perform this, it must’ve been so great to put together. Wonderful job! Apologies for the paragraph. :)
The use of a clarinette for the intro is definitely a great idea. It gives a more "volatile" feeling that suits perfectly the mysterious aspect of Eterna forest.
This is amazing. As a clarinetist, it makes me so happy to see my people represented lmao. Also, I have two suggestions: The City of Tears from Hollow Knight, and the Swords of Justice trio theme from Pokémon Black and White. Also, happy birthday!
YESSS I AM SO HYPED The original arrangement of yours is, and I know I often say this, one of my favourites of yours, and I'm SO HYPED to hear this! ;W;
This. This is one of those pieces that never did much for me my first time hearing it, but every time I've heard it, I've appreciated it a little more until at this point, I'm in love with it (another song that this happened with is Rivers in the Desert from Persona 5 for me, btw). But. Just. Wow. So many emotions. Emotions that take me back to the days of opening up that pokeball from rowan to find a happy little chimchar looking for a home, or encountering my favorite pokemon of all time for the first time in that grass (shinx). This is so beautiful, and not too many words can justify it. I'm well aware that this isn't the must coherent of comments, but there were a few thoughts that just needed to get voiced.
Two things i'm lookimg forward for this new release: A snowman intermission And that you have a nice and celebrated happy birthday (We already know the arrangement will be good :P)
The Eterna Forest theme is probably my favorite songs from Generation 4. It miiiiight even be one of my favorite video game tracks of all time. The feeling I get in my chest whenever I listen to it is indescribable. It always reminds me what kind of power video games and music can hold for people. Anyways, great arrangement, Carlos. It really was excellent and I think you did top your original arrangement with this one by a fair margin. Oh, and Happy Birthday. :)
You could tell me that this is from a studio ghibli film and I'd believe you. I had chills the entire time, I did not know you could make one of my favorites so much better holy
My god, you guys are PHENOMENAL!!!! This was such a beautiful rendition of Eterna Forest I teared up a little. Cannot fathom how this doesn’t have more views and will definitely be going through your other videos! 😁
YOUR CLARINET TONE IS AMAZING!! IT'S SO SMOOTH! I honestly love this re-arrangement and I was able to enjoy it more because I knew the original somewhat well. This is honestly amazing!!
I have never played a gen 4 game, so while all of your arrangements are fun to listen to, none of them made me nostalgic or want to play the game just off of that one song. I have no idea what it is about this theme, but somehow it makes me nostalgic and now I just really want to play this game. Thank you carlos for the wonderful arrangements, keep it up!
This was soooooo goddamn amazing. I really can say it was immaculate - perfect, at least in my eyes. This made my month. Thank you for your beautiful music that you share with the world, happy birthday, and good luck!
Wow, it really says something when music moves you to the point of tears, and this arrangement did just that. Your 2016 cover of this theme is my favorite piece of music from your channel, and hearing it remade like this was amazing. Special props to the piano and strings, they were phenomenal, and this arrangement is beautiful.
I listened to the old Eternal forest cover you did so often that each note was engraved into my brain, now these new notes are tripping me up in the best way possible 👌 such an excellent improvement Edit: OH MY GOD THE PRETTY SOUNDING NUT SHELLS ARE BACK THANK YOU CARLOS
I can't believe you somehow managed to make an already perfect arrangement even better! Also, happy birthday Carlos, I hope you have a damn good one :)
You know how in the Gold/Silver/Crystal games, when you go back to Kanto, the songs are the same, but updated, and more heroic and nostalgic? This arrangement feels like the equivalent of that for your original version of Eterna Forest. That was the first arrangement of yours I ever heard, my introduction to your music and channel. I may have gotten a lil misty-eyed hearing it again 🥺
This is one of the game tracks where I'd just go to a relevant spot and listen to it in the background while doing something else. It's great hearing that magic like it's fresh all over again.
Always surreal to hear updated versions of your covers, cause I've heard the original covers of yours probably close to 100 times. (literally) It's like unlocking a different version of a track in a video game. And I can honestly say this one is better, and perfects a lot of parts that the original cover had.
What an amazing description for what it was to hear the original arrangement and now the new one (can totally relate to hearing his arrangements so many times)
I remember your old top 10/20 Pokemon music and yes I agree. Eterna forest is one of the best!
Thanks Ron! I kinda get those feelings too. Hope you can listen to this remaster for many hundreds of times over the coming years :)
Yes !!
I am from Brasil !
Great job
Greeat jjob
Sinnoh the best region ! Best musics!
Ron I love your Channel !!
Carlos !! I love your channel too!!
I just double checked if this comment was mine from a while ago because I've had this thought over and over while listening to these tracks. Frankly it's a little startling to read such an accurate comment about your own thoughts lol
Eterna Forest already hit different. Then this absolute CHAD had to come in here and have it hit different differnt. Then he said, "I'm gone make it hit different different different" with ANOTHER jazz remix. lawd.
Honestly... This is truly a one-of-a-kind arrangement. I don’t think it can be one-upped any more. It’s a musical masterpiece
@Arthur Filion no
Squidward could never
🤣🤣🤣
If only the eterna forest was tropical, then it would be:
Insaneintherainforest
Insaneintheamazon
insaneintherainmusic if you ever get sponsored it’d be insaneintheamazonprime
And if he gets sponcered multiple times it's InsaneInTheAmazonComposite
Fun Fact: there are actually rainforests that aren’t tropical, such as many forests in Washington State
@Sneha Mukherjee They sure aren't! Look up Hoh Rainforest for perhaps the most famous example. It's famous for an insane amount of moss.
Carlos: Ya Like Pokemon Jazz
everyone: YA I like pokemon jazz
ya

...man, I'm going to be really sad when the year of Sinnoh is over, but I'll it enjoy it right now. Happy Birthday, Carlos!
All things come and go, and it’s best that way :)
The year of sinnoh?
@@insaneintherainmusic well, i better enjoy the rest of the songs that will come to this channel, im going to enjoy every single moment
@@schlock8922 I'm assuming he was covering only Sinnoh music this year. Next year he will move on to next region.
Its 2020. So im excited when this year is over
I’m actually SO GLAD that you kept the Route 209 and Pokemon Main Theme references in there! They were perfect the first time and were perfect this time as well!
Yes haha! They are very thematically appropriate
This is probably my favourite sinnoh tune. Excited to hear the updated version!
PYXB3 correct, was here a little early
Mine would have to be Lake theme :)
this is amazing
facts
Collab????? I mean you have very different styles of music but if anyone could pull it off, you guys could
@@jon_franklin there are already some collabs
like Giorno's theme with Carlos' torso
Love your Touhou covers, glad to see you're also an insaneintherain enjoyer
I’m jazzed to hear this
;) haha nice~

Tears of joy
WHAT THE i literally just discovered your original remix earlier this week and have been listening to it everyday! I've been listening to it during my walks in the park and it's been divine. Can't wait!!!
4:32 Everytime I hear that leitmotif, it gives me chills
same
It was like a truck of nostalgia hitting me in the face.
SAME! 😍🤤 I was hoping someone else had noticed it and pointed it out 😁
3 years later and I'm still coming back regularly. This is easily one of the most beautiful and nostalgic compositions i have ever listened to ❤
OKAY so, all the hype and buildup for this moment is WELL worth it, and tbh the music was just as awesome as the original, if not more so in its own way! But, the thing that really got me was the ending. Seeing everyone so happy that the take went well, seeing Carlos on the floor... you can tell this means something to him, and a lot, at that.

Also modding that into the game itself would probably take some maaaaajor legwork, given we take it as possible
It can, but it takes a lot of storage space, and the terrible crusty sounding speakers on the DS wouldn't do it justice.
Seriously, when is Nintendo going to contact you to do official music for their games? This arrangement has so much depth and soul, and it would blow my mind if I heard a song with so much care put into it in a game. Amazing job as always Carlos!!!
I got a feeling that Carlos will secretly appear in the bdsp credit scene
If Nintendo put this in their games, people would just sit listening to this awesome music and not actually play the game, lol.
Carlos, I just wanted to leave a comment letting you know how appreciative I am of you.

That part of the arrangement gets me too :)

Blown away. I hope no one on earth treats this as TREE-vial just because it's a remake.

Darn I have to wait 18 whole hours to watch this masterpiece

This one pulls on the heart strings... for someone who has never experienced Pokemon, this is an unexplainable feeling when im listening to this...like so many people we need an escape from life...to get away and your music helps me and so many other people achieve that escape...Thank you so much for the music you continue to produce and will keep producing. Love you and your music. Keep up the amazing work and continue to be a musical inspiration to so many others
Wow, you're making these at an insane pace man. You sure you're getting sleep, my dude?
Oh I'll have this on repeat for a while. It's fantastic!
Man, I trust Carlos to tell us if he needs a break so I sure hope he is!
I dont think at this point in my life there are many things that give me this much joy, its just... almost unreal
Ohh yess Eterna Forest baby !
Thanks to every musician
The clarinet solo was amazing! Definitely blends with the orchestra well
Thanks! Clarinet is SUCH a good blending instrument!
I listened to the original Eterna Forest a few weeks back and I got such a wave of nostalgia from listening to it, and I get that from this and so much more. It’s just as mysterious and serene as the original but adds so much energy to some parts and it all just sounds so good! Thank you to everyone working on this and all of these videos and Happy Birthday Carlos! It’s really hard to express just how much I love this arrangement but I hope this can suffice.
Thanks for everything Carlos.
Carlos: GOTTA CATCH EM ALL
How tf did you comment 19 hours ago??
Fantastic craftsmanship Carlos! I remember your Eterna Forest was the first uploaded video I watched after I subscribed back in 2016 and boy I am glad to see how much I've seen you grow and constantly improve. This was a sensational, vibrant arrangement highlighting the amazing things you learnt along the way and I almost shed tears when I heard your iconic saxophone melodic tone at 1:57. Be so very proud with how far you've come and I look forward to more fam xx
And have a flipping great birthday
This is so unbelievably good I tear up when listening
3:08 The little shells or bell-esc instrument gives me Korok vibes and I love it.
Haha, that’s a seed pod shaker! I think something similar is used with the Koroks in BOTW!
Is it weird that I feel kinda proud of seeing you conducting a full orchestra? You are great at your stuff! I watched your last video and all, but I'm so glad you decided to do this one before quitting.
Oh my goodness this has to be my favorite TH-cam video of all time! When I first heard this arrangement on the CD, I fell in love and it’s my favorite song out of every single one on all three CDs. I’ve listened to it tens of times already and I most certainly will never be getting sick of it. It leaves me with such a good feeling inside. I keep listening back to pick apart more layers and hear everything that the piece really has to offer and it only makes me love it more in the end. I would absolutely love to perform this, it must’ve been so great to put together. Wonderful job! Apologies for the paragraph. :)
IM SO IN LOVE.... EVEN AFTER YEARS I KEEP COMING BACK TO THIS COVER
The use of a clarinette for the intro is definitely a great idea. It gives a more "volatile" feeling that suits perfectly the mysterious aspect of Eterna forest.
This is amazing. As a clarinetist, it makes me so happy to see my people represented lmao. Also, I have two suggestions: The City of Tears from Hollow Knight, and the Swords of Justice trio theme from Pokémon Black and White. Also, happy birthday!
0:50
Fo you ever get those tingles on your face from pure nostalgia? This was that for me.
YESSS I AM SO HYPED The original arrangement of yours is, and I know I often say this, one of my favourites of yours, and I'm SO HYPED to hear this! ;W;
This. This is one of those pieces that never did much for me my first time hearing it, but every time I've heard it, I've appreciated it a little more until at this point, I'm in love with it (another song that this happened with is Rivers in the Desert from Persona 5 for me, btw). But. Just. Wow.
So many emotions. Emotions that take me back to the days of opening up that pokeball from rowan to find a happy little chimchar looking for a home, or encountering my favorite pokemon of all time for the first time in that grass (shinx). This is so beautiful, and not too many words can justify it. I'm well aware that this isn't the must coherent of comments, but there were a few thoughts that just needed to get voiced.
Two things i'm lookimg forward for this new release:
A snowman intermission
And that you have a nice and celebrated happy birthday
(We already know the arrangement will be good :P)
Unfortunately no snowman, but still a masterpiece nonetheless
This is one of the best covers of Eterna Forest that I have ever heard. It's always been one of my favorite Pokemon tracks.
The Eterna Forest theme is probably my favorite songs from Generation 4. It miiiiight even be one of my favorite video game tracks of all time. The feeling I get in my chest whenever I listen to it is indescribable. It always reminds me what kind of power video games and music can hold for people.
Anyways, great arrangement, Carlos. It really was excellent and I think you did top your original arrangement with this one by a fair margin.
Oh, and Happy Birthday. :)
It’s such a great piece of music, yeah :) Thank you!
You could tell me that this is from a studio ghibli film and I'd believe you. I had chills the entire time, I did not know you could make one of my favorites so much better holy
My god, you guys are PHENOMENAL!!!! This was such a beautiful rendition of Eterna Forest I teared up a little. Cannot fathom how this doesn’t have more views and will definitely be going through your other videos! 😁
Love the little dance he does when he’s conducting
YOUR CLARINET TONE IS AMAZING!! IT'S SO SMOOTH! I honestly love this re-arrangement and I was able to enjoy it more because I knew the original somewhat well. This is honestly amazing!!
Thank you! I played clarinet a bit back in middle school and elementary school, but the sax embouchure carried over pretty nicely!
I have never played a gen 4 game, so while all of your arrangements are fun to listen to, none of them made me nostalgic or want to play the game just off of that one song. I have no idea what it is about this theme, but somehow it makes me nostalgic and now I just really want to play this game. Thank you carlos for the wonderful arrangements, keep it up!
I just found your channel and i'm blown away. I have such a stupid grin on my face hearing your music, keep up the awesome work~
Welcome! Hope you enjoy it here!
At 1:30 I get strong Ori vibes, I never knew how much I wanted Ori jazz until just now.
Oh boy. The original one was the first video I saw of yours, I can't wait
Truly an Upgrade from the first rendition, one that was my favourite until now. This one takes the cake!
This is going to be so GOOD DUDE I CANT WAIT AAAA
I was absolutely vibing at 4:30 thinking you couldn’t make this any better and then you PAID HOMAGE TO THE MAIN POKEMON THEME I CAN’T EVEN-
The song is absolutely amazing and all, but can we take a moment to appreciate the team galactic pikachu he has on the mantle?
I gotta say, I’ve never cried to a piece of music unlike this one
This was soooooo goddamn amazing. I really can say it was immaculate - perfect, at least in my eyes. This made my month. Thank you for your beautiful music that you share with the world, happy birthday, and good luck!
Wow, it really says something when music moves you to the point of tears, and this arrangement did just that. Your 2016 cover of this theme is my favorite piece of music from your channel, and hearing it remade like this was amazing. Special props to the piano and strings, they were phenomenal, and this arrangement is beautiful.
I listened to the old Eternal forest cover you did so often that each note was engraved into my brain, now these new notes are tripping me up in the best way possible 👌 such an excellent improvement
Edit: OH MY GOD THE PRETTY SOUNDING NUT SHELLS ARE BACK THANK YOU CARLOS
Oh my... the syncopated bass combined strings obstinato @4:09 sounds really catchy and upbeat!
I can't believe you somehow managed to make an already perfect arrangement even better! Also, happy birthday Carlos, I hope you have a damn good one :)
Thanks!
I knew Carlos was going to make this good.
But I didn't know it would be THIS good.
You know how in the Gold/Silver/Crystal games, when you go back to Kanto, the songs are the same, but updated, and more heroic and nostalgic? This arrangement feels like the equivalent of that for your original version of Eterna Forest. That was the first arrangement of yours I ever heard, my introduction to your music and channel. I may have gotten a lil misty-eyed hearing it again 🥺
This is one of the game tracks where I'd just go to a relevant spot and listen to it in the background while doing something else.
It's great hearing that magic like it's fresh all over again.
I totally did that too :)
Excitement!
[After reading description:] EXCITEMENT!!!
[After listening/watching:] *IMMENSE JOY!!!!!*
Also, bappy hirthday!!! XD🎈🎂🎁
damm this piece of art is underrated
I LOVED the original!!!!
this is genuinely the most beautiful piece of music I've ever listened to
After making a cover of this song myself, it's nice to hear yours! l love 0:53
I heard the first notes on the piano and instantly smiled. Beautiful.
So iconic!
