The Flight of Dragons (Ultimate Remix)

Check out my new fantasy short film here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyWSklx7-fs

-----

In celebration of the first official DVD release of The Flight of Dragons, I decided to arrange my own version of the theme song. I have likewise reproduced the original theme by Maury Laws as faithful as I could while adding some of my own musical ideas to spice it up.

I'd like to personally thank Maury Laws for corresponding with me via mail and for sending me the sheet music along with a wonderful letter that I'll cherish forever. Thank you so much, my friend!

"Jesse, your modal-sounding harmonies and the music you created are compelling and effective. You show an ability to score the part of a film that cannot be communicated other than by music." -- Maury Laws (The Flight of Dragons, The Hobbit, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer)

Lyrics:
Flight of dragons soar in the purple light
In the sky or in my mind
Flight of dragons sail past reality
Leave illusion behind

Is it the past I see
When I look up to the heavens
Believing in the magic
That I know could never be

I want to go where they are going
Into the world they've been
Can I open up my mind enough to see

Flight of dragons, heavenly argosies
Catch the wind, rise out of sight
Flight of dragons, pilots of fantasy
In the sky or in my mind

Flight of dragons
Flight of dragons

This is so amazing! I used to love this movie when I was a little girl (still do) and I loved dragons all my life, but I've always been very critical about covers and didn't like any of them... But this one I think I like more than the original! Fantastic work, love the dark, magical atmosphere to it. I can't find the right words to describe how awesome and genius this is, and I just love it sooo much :)) Wonderful

@Flashkica11 So glad you like it :)

actually i was really mad someone took a great song and tried their own thing so i clicked on this kinda outta anger but i have to say, you made something the sounds haunting yet meloncholie which i think it what the writers where origanaly going for. I love it. And i love the feeling you get from this song, it brings back thoses sparks you had as a child that let your imagination have no limits, due to relaitya nd science adults dont have that magic but its nice to bring back that feeling.

@NecoMimi43 Really appreciate the comment -- I'm glad the magic is still with you...

I'm a huge fan of the original work, and not much for remix/redubbed songs. Yet this song actually brough tears to my eyes as I listened to it thinking the lyrics to myself.

You did an outright job, and even that doesn't seem to do you justice. Keep up the good work!

Wanna know something weird?

Ever since I was a little girl I've loved stuff about dargons. Then a few years ago I went into a craft store and found some chinese zodiac sign pendents. Just for the hell of it I looked through them to figure out what mine was. Take a lucky guess what it is.....

Dragon. Yes, dragon.

Is that cool or what?!!!

[EbonieGold]

Beautiful take on a timeless classic.
