Custom SMW Music - The Lullaby

[FourthDerivative]

I seriously got a little misty-eyed when the "lullaby" came in. Just beautiful, man.

[LuigiHourPowerHour]

Sounds like something from Touhou almost :O

[leafbarrett]

@LuigiHourPowerHour Which in and of itself is pretty fitting for the Rao.

[SwerveStarEx]

OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD EXTEND IT HNNNNGH

[Nixitur]

@SwerveStarEx That's what she said.

[SwerveStarEx]

@Nixitur You won this round. XD

[Nixitur]

I've listened to a lot of very, VERY good video game soundtracks in the last few days (like Bastion and Achron) and I gotta say that in my Top 10 list of favorite video game tracks, THIS is still somewhere up there.

[SwerveStarEx]

If this isn't in A2MT, I will be highly disappointed...

[pokemonfreak8]

I wonder how Nintendo would react if they saw that their o.k. game was being turned into something as awesome as ASMT and A2MT...

[leafbarrett]

I had heard that Raocow's little lullaby rant had been made into the final boss theme for the 2nd game, and I was thinking, "How exactly would you go about turning a lullaby, of all things, into a final boss theme?" Apparently, this is how. Great job.

[Chrom1um]

Did I ever mention how amazing this is? 

[hexbbb]

also can I have the music or the midi file?

[hexbbb]

this awesome, can you teach me how to make custom music , n_n

[WyattCroucher]

@hexbbb There's a pretty great tutorial on SMW central for custom music which covers everything for the most part. If there's something not explained in there, feel free to ask me in a PM!

Also there's no midi, but if you want an mp3 I can make you one :)

[chinesesmw]

can someone tell me how to make the camera follow the sprite? please i need this for my hack.

[AEternalDream]

@chinesesmw This isn't exactly the right place to ask, really :p

[leafbarrett]

@chinesesmw I think this was the first that anyone had ever done with this specific sprite behavior, so it may not be very well documented.

[MrWeirdGuy]

So... what kind of funky time signature are you using? Is it like, 3/4 at first and then switching to 4/4 or something? I'm trying to do a cover of it in Famitracker, and I'm having a hell of a time. :V

[WyattCroucher]

@MrWeirdGuy It's actually 4/4 the whole way through. Can't wait to see the cover when you're done!

[MrWeirdGuy]

@WyattCroucher Ah ok... guess I was just overcomplicating it a bit. What I have so far actually fits now! :D Speaking of complicated things, I'm not looking forward to figuring out 0:51 - 1:23. That's gotta be the hardest part of the song.

[WyattCroucher]

@MrWeirdGuy I actually have the first half of that part in MIDI form, if you want I can send it to you!

[MrWeirdGuy]

@WyattCroucher That would actually be pretty awesome. I'd appreciate it.

[Ultralatematt0707]

someone post this to SMWCentral

[BrawlerGamma]

this is now raocow's theme song

[PantaroParatroopa]

Crowning Music of Awesome!

[SoundsofDarkess]

@PantaroParatroopa Hey, there, Troper.

[randoguy101]

Where are we? The land is not a friend no more... We must survey the land, and be careful... For you do not know what Lurks behind the walls Except porridge and that's not even true. And so we go carefully Foward in this way. Watch out for the sand castles, They will get in your way Some times there is a roof over your head You do not know Where does the future go, but foward? Where does it go, but backward?

[CrispyYoshi]

By the way, mind if I have an SPC of this song? That would be wonderful.

[WyattCroucher]

@CrispyYoshi Sorry, but whenever I export the spc, it comes out laggy, and I don't think there's a way to fix it :(

[CrispyYoshi]

@WyattCroucher I bet it's probably because the tempo is over 100. You can fix it by changing the length of the SPC with an editor like the Winamp SPC Player.

[CrispyYoshi]

Wow. This is an outstanding composition. Great job with the port, but even more of an outstanding job with the composition. I love it.

[KinCryos]

marvelous. think you can do a field mix of Where's Lakitu?

[BrawlerGamma]

i mean, if this is for a final boss :P

[BrawlerGamma]

if this is a final boss, they should have you save each time you try to enter the stage, and if you make it to the boss and die, have it so you respawn immediately at the start of the fight without stopping the music. lol i bet you either cant do that at all or it would be pretty tough to set up.

[Axioanarchist]

EPIC.

[tenchimuyo69]

Sounds like you TOUHOU'd it.

[BenWeissTV]

yeah, this will put someone to sleep

[herty140]

That game looks impossible. <_<

[SoundsofDarkess]

Is there any chance of some kind of sheet music for this? I would love to play this song for real.

[Chrom1um]

I love the phrygian dominant riffs that set in at around 0:55. Really excellent work!

[Zeralith]

So...Final Boss like King Charles?  Or FINAL Final Boss like Black Plague?

[daarkbuu]

@Zeralith no, it's completely different.

[BonePizza]

@Zeralith both and neither

[KinkyOats]

Why in the name of god am I just seeing this now

I know right now I want to use this

[Trackball816]

I want the SPC file of this. NOW.

[THEREALMOSH2]

This song wasn't in asmt? :(

[WyattCroucher]

@THEREALMOSH2 It's for the sequel

[THEREALMOSH2]

@WyattCroucher Oh, good :D

[lhatecards]

I absolutely adore this.

The song in itself just sounds so right and official (unlike a lot of "custom" SMW compositions out there, which sound all over the place and weird), but because the song is emotional, especially since this is the final boss song for A2MT, and feels like it is. This song just screams: "You've got far, and your quest is almost over, so hang in there and beat the final boss!"

You, my friend, are a SMW composer extraordinaire.

[MrWeirdGuy]

Also, what are all the things that the melodies are taken from? I mean, there's the obvious one that every raocow fan remembers, but what about the others?

[WyattCroucher]

@MrWeirdGuy The part at the start which loops twice is from the same song, everything else is original :)

[MrWeirdGuy]

@WyattCroucher Hmm, I'm not really hearing any raocow in that loop... can you give me a timestamp of when it begins in the original video? watch?v=x25LlloXMaM

[WyattCroucher]

@MrWeirdGuy At like 8:30, right before the main part. I kinda butchered it like crazy though.

[MrWeirdGuy]

@WyattCroucher I can kinda hear it now, but you really have to be listening to hear it. Not that it makes this song any less badass. :D

[MrWeirdGuy]

Where does the future go but forward?

[MrVenturaRamos]

Quite awesome... but, for some reason, I don't manage to see how would it cycle

[WyattCroucher]

@MrVenturaRamos It loops back to the 4-second mark.

[MrVenturaRamos]

@WyattCroucher I see, thanks ^^ Can't wait to see raocow playing a2mt, and fight the final boss with this music ^^

God job

[BeniBoD]

SPC please :)

[supertails61]

This is incredible, especially 1:23 on.

[Cloaytonem2]

Best thing to result from a raocow thing.

[Sephiko]

Very catchy.

[OhWhoCaresAnyway]

I love you.

[kite10122]

'A-fucking-mazing.

[MajorasMask9]

Oh wow, I remember seeing this get suggested at the talkhaus but I never thought it would be done/this awesome.

[masterchief3683]

this is just pure win

[raocow]

this is beautifu

haha, holy

[RealLinkxXx]

Awesome work, I love it.

[GarlyleWilds]

This is pretty awesome. Feels pretty improvisational, which is unusual in SNES-era music, but it's pretty awesome regardless.

[wilysmachine]

This is the new Fire and Flames.
