Shadows of the Colossus - The Opened Way arrangement

For mp3: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O9F8SH1G

Hey!
This song...scared me in a lot of ways. First off, the original is all orchestrated and thinking of a great way to incorporate that into a more rock feel really challenged me (and let me tell you, there needed to be a LOT of layers of strings to get anywhere even close to a larger sound). I really love this song and I think this turned out very well. The first half was sort of what I had in my head and what I wanted to put out, the second half was almost an improv that I feel made a really nice climatic close to this epic song. My arrangement is called "Tale of the Gallant Colossus".

Tell me what you think!

Great stuff! It sounds (i mean this as a compliment) like FFVII meets SotC. Brilliant. I just did an acoustic guitar cover of Castle in The Mist from the Ico OST. Have a watch if you get chance. I'm gonna go share your vid on my FB page. I know a few people who will like it a lot. Kudos!
