Quest for Glory - Erana's Peace (vocal)

[richard20bris]

Ad Avis, Baba Yaga, and Katrina disliked this video several times :-P

[richard20bris]

That was AWESOME! I've always loved the "Erana's Peace" theme. Your lyrics were extremely appropriate (based on what we learn about Erana's character in later games) and your singing was spot on! Thank you for this video :-)

[PahaLukki]

Never played the game but touching still. Yes, it reaches...

[Warrior1984100]

Wow, this song really reached out to me. It provided me with an inner sense of peace and serenity. It made me forget my problems, past tribulations, and especially the injustices of the past. The actual lyrics to the song really spoke to me.

[fucheduck]

my parent's backyard looks just like "Erana's Peace" from Quest for Glory IV right down to the chinese lanterns and pond.(and they never played Quest for Glory) they bought the house recently and it was because of that back yard.

[ianedwardmess]

im back here, listening to this, reminiscing the good old days.. as @ntnsvc said.. your voice is the voice of Erana, like a spell calming me down whenever im listening to you.

[fucheduck]

@ianedwardmess and with the wounderous DOSBox utility its the good new days.

[ianedwardmess]

@fucheduck yeah Dosbox, scummVM..but you cant never get the same feeling again you know.. one of the few games that im obsessed with back then. Kids wear red cape to be superman, i wear it to be The Hero. :)

[OneWeirdDude]

That was not only a lot better than I expected, it was plain awesome! You sing well.

[K4thius]

its too hard song I think you sing it very well...

[nekokitwolf]

I've never played quest for glory (watched let's plays of it) but this song was always my favorite. It's a song of peace and protection.... your voice is very soothing by the way!

[Farafonov]

No, it`s GREAT!

[Farafonov]

Nice!

[Francois424]

That was simply excellent.

[bhunter007]

Marry me.

[mintDesktop]

I don't think the original was so memorable :O though it's a nice tribute :-)

[Fnoffen]

6 people stopped playing "Quest for Glory: So you want to be a hero" before finding Erana's Peace.

I weep for them. :'(

[pip9999]

very nice one! thanks for the vid!

[ngfjhcc]

Beautiful and memorable song, great lyrics and a very sweet voice! Thanks zarla, hope you upload more like this!

[llamatron2008]

This is just mean. :P

First a nostalgasm and then Nerdgasm "...long lonely nights..." 8.S

Forever alone :.D

[Slumpnasty]

Tonal control, what? Anyway, I really like this. Thanks.

[angelmarauder]

You lyrics are good. You voice can get better. Over all a-thumbs up-a-le!

[Curbie79]

Wow! ... Just absolutely beautifully done! I always enjoyed Erana's Peace while playing this game. Congrats on hitting over 10k views! Keep them coming!

[ultrazeldafan]

I'm sorry if my previous comment sounded mean. I truly didn't mean it that way, and now that i've had time to mull it over, I think it's perfect the way that it is. I really do love it.

[HardWarUK]

That was beautiful. Somewhat plaintive - which was perfect for the scene - you should be very proud of this! I am also glad you have had 10,000 views/listens! :)

[BlightyLume]

Nostalgia-gasm.  Pretty voice.

[IaoGawd]

I'm surprised by how good the lyrics are. Nice...

[edstar83]

WoW!

[IxButterscotchxI]

i come back just to hear your voice.. when i hear this song.. all my childhood memories return back to me.. i miss all those whose have pass away.. and the warm cuddle of those whom i love.. thanks zarla.

[ultrazeldafan]

I absolutely love it, and your voice compliments this song very nicely. I do, however, have a suggestion with the lyrics. In the last line of the first stanza, I suggest you change won't to will not to better fit the syllables already in the song.

[xnightshadyx]

Now you should do a song about Roger Wilco.

[terrorizerr1]

its pretty rare that one of my favorite song ever belongs to a video game! i got the sierra company cd with their best song hits of hit video games but with real musician and instrument and eranas peace happend to be the best one!

[ThomasKrypton]

Needs better recording.

[wjglory]

WOW this is beautiful!

[LanceVader]

Don't quit your day job yet, but you're very talented. Your voice has a nice breathy quality that fits Erana's Peace very well.

[rebjorn79]

A thousand thanks for uploading this.

[cynbot]

This song makes me so teary eyed with nostalgia, the lyrics are perfect. Thank you for uploading this :)

[rojika2587]

With a little more practice at singing it you will have all the timing down to make it really great and even better then it already is. Very impressive song. ^.^

[Comrade2face]

gave me goosebumps! awesome, eranas peace was the first time i heard something beautiful in a videogame.

[y2jeff84]

Outstanding. While the singing isn't fantastic, the fact that there are still people who remember and enjoy these games, and create this kind of content is amazing.

[RabbiSchlomo]

It is so beautiful. One of my dearest childhood memories. Your voice makes this song so much more. It is grand! Thank yu for singing. I also love the lyrics. It makes me feel right. Nothing can harm me here.

Peace be with you.

[fathead8489]

Greatest series ever. Brings back so many memories.

[peymanhottt]

Hi, Please, please, do it once again. your work is good, thats why i'm asking for more! It would be nice if you change or remove some lyrics, sing slower with/or less words. but the best ones. and a liitle bit more on the background. some parts let the music be alone, maybe the beggining and the end, mix with choir sounds on some parts, and only choir+music at the end, have you heard the way enya sings, it might help. please ! Thanks.

[sephmccarty]

Think more about your phrasing. There are several places where you sound like you're just mashing things together, forcing them to fit -- "don'' be afraid" bit etc. It sounds rushed. Relax and let it flow.

[karvainenpiippu]

This is one of the most memorable songs from my childhood. Thank you for this. :)

[ztcamper]

having played this game... I used this music to sleep. I mean eranas peace truly is. But your voice is beautiful. It adds to the whole thing. thank you for singing.

[SchlossRitter]

Beautifully done.

[mansmord]

this ain't lame, it's a great tribute to the Quest for glory series!

[leethal59]

your voice is beautiful. i love this theme, but the vocals make it so much better.

[ayoyoayoyo]

how come no reference to calm

[lilorphananhyzer]

Can I marry you?

[BigTose]

creative, original, and well done

[Zartan11]

Fantastic job! You really caught the essence of the scene and Mark Seibert's melody with your lyrics and singing. Thank you for writing this. - Corey Cole

[fenrusrat]

This is a wonderful interpretation of Erana and the song. Thanks for keeping the spirit of Quest for Glory alive.

[Mowglibaloo2]

@fenrusrat

how has erasmus been, i used to love spending time at your castle in the clouds

[bastianbrennanbaum]

Lovely. This was my fav song from the game, and I would just stand by the tree and let the music put me to sleep. :) Great lyric for it!

[Greyshader]

Great words. It exactly express the feel of Erana's place. Thumbs up :o)

[princeofwinter]

It's so beautiful GOOD JOB

I'm so glad he married Erana in QFG 5!

[Nonamearisto]

Sounds like Church music almost, but in a lullaby

[Godzilla1982]

Wow, that was beautiful....awesome game, awesome song. Well done.

[xXiVanDarkXx]

If you wander far

I'll wait right here for you

ooo man

[winker310508]

WOW

Just WONDERFUL

[isupport420]

quest for glory1 is my favorite game of all time..........i always loved comeing to (magic meadow) Eranas peace. In some way it was allways soothing for me and also the the hero aswell. LOL This is amaising, you did an exellent job with singing and with writing the lyrics......everytime i think of quest for glory I will remember this song.

[NeoTifasRevenge]

This reminds me a lot of the Final Fantasy 9 song done by Garnet that had no words... did you do that one?

[MarillionDeVoid]

In a miserable mood i stumbled across this, could get the thought out of my head : Id give this person 100 bux per person she made cry at my wedding, to bad neither could happen.

[pablofallenjedi]

i understand this song!

[greytale]

FANTASTIC.

Erana's Peace brings back memories of the 90's for me... and I absolutely loved Marc Siebert's music in the QFG (Hero's Quest back then!) games... and certainly in the King's Quest ones as well.

Great job on adding lyrics to match the concept of "Erana's love", heheh... :)

[platinumchildxxx]

Your voice has a nice tone but you need a lot of work on tonal control still.

[ZarlaSheenaza]

Yeah, I think you're right.

[Eluneminati]

@ZarlaSheenaza personally i really like they way you have sung this and also find i like the less tonal controll as it feels more fitting to the tune :) love this TY

[ntnsvc]

@platinumchildxxx

Fuck these assholes. Yours is the voice of Erana. Your voice is a spell of sanctuary.

[chk428]

@platinumchildxxx I think you completely missed the point if you think her singing this song is an exercise in tonal control. /facepalm

[SAMagic]

Absolutely fantastic, whether or not people beleive the singer could go professional or not. This impressed me and I sincerely enjoyed seeing the accompaniment to classic music from a classic game. :)

[UniversalUnicorn1]

Wow, I can't get over over how beautiful your voice sounds, every time I hear this it soothes me...

[hedegaard8]

Of course its soothing, it IIISSS the voice of Erana! What could one expect? :)

[hedegaard8]

WOW!!! What a fantastic surprise!!!!

Excellent!!!

I loved Hero's Quest (all of them) but the first was the best and especially the music of Eranas peace, even on an old PC speaker!

Well done, what a fantastic Sunday surprise!!!

Thank you!!

[JackiePaquito]

Thanks!!

[SuicidalShrew]

Made me cry. =(

Beautiful.

[happy7117]

Don't quit your day job, but get a better day job singing and songwriting!!

When you get super rich from CD's and singing, and concerts, then quit your day job!

It's a shame we can't get jobs by exploiting our god given talents.

For example, I love to write. I would love a day job involving creative writing. That's where my talent lies. A job I wouldn't wish to quit!!

[ertyqwer]

Unfortunately, loving to write doesn't necessarily mean you have a talent for it :p

[praeterferor]

awesome... 5 stars!

[feslenraster]

great singing Zar....nice song too. your version touched me more than the original :)

[PaladinMatthias]

so I found this and instantly got excited;

I loveeee qfg (especially the music)... to the point where it has influenced how I see the world

your 'lame' song brought me back and made me tear up a little bit; obviously theres a lot of feeling from wherever you are pulling

thank you for moment!

[kyle200790]

gorgeous....

[lindenmeadow]

Come now, you don't do yourself justice!

:-)

You did a lovely job singing and you created pleasant and evocative lyrics. I give you two thumbs up!

[rebsojr3]

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFULLLLL voice XD!!! Can we expect more from you?!

[Fox3913]

This is awesome! Way to go!

[ninja644]

I actually love this. Nothing is wrong with your singing :D :D. I really like it, i've favourited this :D.

And it does make me reminisce... about those good times

[happy7117]

Change "Lame vocal rendition" to "Lulling Vocal Rendition"

Hold it. You made up those lyrics!? Become a songwriter and produce some CD's--seriously.

Those idiotic jokes of auditions on American Idol who sing absymbaly could learn a thing or 2 from you!!

Simon, Paula, and Randy would pass you ..

Go on Idol....we need more singers like you to make me want to watch.

Inspiring and all around spectacular!

[bigeshu]

Thank you so much. This made my day. It reminds me of playing this game for the first time and just being so relaxed whenever I reached Erana's Peace. Great music then and even better now.

[Intrafacial86]

Lame? Are you kidding??

EPIC!!!

5/5 and faved

[jumpman9793]

Your voice is incredible. Your one of the best singers I've ever heard!

[lchann]

It's beautiful, and awe inspiring. I'm actually playing QFG1 (For the millionth time) right now and it's really setting my mood.

[joser590]

That was awesome. It takes me back to my childhood when I only worried about beating the Quest for Glory games and waiting for part 5 to come out. The lyrics hit home because I miss those days and being an adult now sucks. Heartbreaks, bills, job, everything sucks but I can listen to this music and get transported back to my Quest for Glory days and not worry for a little bit.

[Shavarnarak]

Star Control, Earthbound, Quest for Glory... I LOVE your taste in games!

[ClipclopHorsey]

A beautiful piece of music loved the game thankyou

[djstonedog]

I really enjoyed this and you stirred up some long dormant memories of my childhood...*sniffles*

[mrjason10]

This reminded me of another one that you might be interested in: Ryan8bit did a version that I really like from King's Quest V called "Forlorn Dream" -- you can see it at his website, ryan8bit {dot} {com} {slash} music

[mrjason10]

Wow. Nice! Erana's Peace always had sentimental value for me. It was one of the first moments in my computer game history that I stopped the game to pause and just listen to the music for the music's sake.

And your voice is quite pleasant to listen to.

[cakie159]

i would love an mp3 of this song

[ClipclopHorsey]

You can use 'youtubedownloader'. It downloads and converts for you. Free and easy to use.

[netkoji]

Sweet!

[JelloHamster]

Oh wow this is amazing! Such great lyrics!! Thanks for making my day! :)

[xXiVanDarkXx]

this is awesome!

good job!

[Hekateras]

Beautiful. I teared up at this... Your voice sounds so serene. :)

[happy7117]

One of many perfect adjectives to describe this exquisite voice!! Silky, lilting, comforting, and cuddling are more!!

[gnr711]

Made up ? Wow, you are amazing. Quit your day jjob, you have talent that many people only wish for.

[happy7117]

This is the VERY first time I have heard "quit your day job".....

But the phrase....don't quit your day job!!

Can anyone tell me what "don't quit your day job" means...

It's mostly used under Crap Idol Auditions..

This young lady would literaly blow the judges out of the water!!

[NilEinne]

It means based on your performance it would be a mistake for you quit your ordinary/day job to try and become a performer in whatever you were auditioning in because you won't succeed.

N.B. Just to be clear I'm just explaining what 'don't quit your day job' means not commenting on this performance

[happy7117]

Just my opinion, but I thought that phrase meant don't go quiting a regular job one is currently making money to try for big money at a better job you won't succeed at.

Now, if someone got WIN FOR LIFE from a scratch-off card, then a person could quit their day job because well, when were rich, we don't have to work for money!

[gnr711]

Couple of things: I think I was hammered & just finished re-playing QFG II when I made that comment. But anyways - I was implying she should pursue her musical talent more, in lieu of 'just' a day job, if she even has one.

[gnr711]

Perhaps that is what the saying really means, but it is was not what I meant. Youtube people can be so dense sometimes.

I was giving her a compliment, and suggesting she look outside the box and try do more with her talent than just work some meaningless job & do this for fun in her spare time.

[Whitshiznit]

Take out the first five words of your description, it's definitely not lame :) Awesome job, love it!

[calerab]

brilliant

[Egger3rd]

Look up "These Scars Will Never Heal" on newgrounds(dot)com. It's a funny video your lyrics reminded me of. It has nothing to do with this game though. Very pretty voice, btw.

[OOcloud36]

Absolutely beautiful.

Made me tear up :)

[ElementalSymphony]

So beautiful.. Thank you for this. I've been listening to this all day and I can't stop.. absolutely amazing.

[jetixsaywhat2212]

your kidding u made that up..... HOLY CRAP UR GOOD WITH LYRICS..........

[phildaguy]

Lullaby.

[DKaidian]

Whoa, really? Ha, you fooled me.  :)

[DKaidian]

Whoa, I've played the Quest for Glory game (original and VGA remake) and had NO idea there were lyrics to the Erana's Peace song. Neat!

[ZarlaSheenaza]

There aren't, I just made these up. :B

[Dareiran]

Part of my life, so amazingly beautiful.

I would so much damn like to find somewhere a tab for this song...

[DutchHyena]

This is as good as "Broken Soul" and "Guide you Home", from "the Legend of Spyro" games.

[DarwinsStepChildren]

Favorite Midi ever. I remember playing in CGA (Didn't have EGA for a long time.) I would wonder if I'd ever finish the game, 'cause I would just sit on this screen and listen for hours. Love the lyrics.

[cakie159]

wow i love this song.

[Tahjir]

Amazing!

[DesertEagle4777]

I, too, enjoy this song. Quest for Glory, for all it's humor, has some really touching moments.

And your voice is great, don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

[OvaltinePatrol]

I enjoyed this. The QFG series is pretty much the only pack of games to elicit a wealth of emotion from me, I'm glad it's done the same for others.

[ktkarona]

<3 That definitely captivates the serenity that Erana's Peace gave. I miss that game. ; ;

[Alanahikarichan]

Lame. Right. And the sky is green, water is pink, and you don't rock like a rocking thing that rocks.

Gorgeous, Zar. <3

[ZarlaSheenaza]

Haha I thought you'd appreciate it since you're like the only person I know who ever played these games with any kind of regularity. |D

[Alanahikarichan]

Ahahaha, I'd play them with a lot more regularity if I could figure out how to run DOSbox on my Mac... I'd love to take a stab at them now that I understand the concept of "rpg". XD

[modestmango]

"another lame vocal randition"????

pfft, bull crap

man your talented

[oofoe]

second.

more please.

[matticusprime]

Thirded, assuming this appears in the correct order.

[Cotoredondo]

Fourthed. :)

[hercrabbiness]

Aww... I'm actually kind of moved... :'(

[shadowwhip]

Nice singing!
