So when there was a free Undertale slot on the Indie Games v2 tribute album over at the Pixel Mixers community, it felt like too good an opportunity to pass up. • Hopes and Dreams is one of my favorite tracks from Undertale for its upbeat and optimistic vibe and just plain catchy melody. Since I’ve been looking for an excuse to try my hand at a Nightwish-esque, that meant operatic female vocals. Fortunately one-woman choir Psamathes, a Pixel Mixers regular, was immediately interested to do some symphonic metal, so I got to arranging. As far as the arrangement goes, the source track is catchy but also quite repetitive, so I had to be creative. Fortunately there was enough material to create a verse and chorus section as well as a bridge part. To spice it up, I wrote a riff + chant section quite heavily inspired by a part of the source (even though I completely forgot from where by now), added a solo section and threw in some (intentionally keyboard-ey/ROMpler-ey sounding) orchestral sounds for that symphonic feel. • No symphonic metal without guitars, and while I liked my Shreddage 2 midi riffs well enough to blend them in too, I was happy to work with jmabate, who provided the lead and rhythm guitars and threw in an extra tasty solo bit as well as a few harmonies at the end to boot. Bass was provided by Kalu4ii Plays, another PM community member, and provides the rhythm section together with some pretty layered drums courtesy of Logic Pro’s Drummer (and heavily edited by yours truly). • After the usual mixing hell (it turned out to be one of these high track count monsters with too many layers) it turned out not quite as Nightwish-esque as I originally planned, but I still feel it’s a great homage to Undertale, to symphonic rock/metal in general and it has plenty of good vibes and power. All of this was immensely helped by the fantastic singing from Psamathes and the extra oomph provided by the performances from jmabate and Kalu4ii and I can't thank them enough for helping the track come to life! • • Lyrics: • Have the strength • to believe • Guided by • Your Hopes and Dreams • I am stuck • In dark surroundings, • Lost and dazed, • Feels like I'm drowning • Thinking back, • As I was falling • Down this void, • My ears still roaring • Can I get up, • From this nightmare? • Won't give up, • Give in to despair • 'Cause the dreams • And hopes inside me • Fill my heart with • determination • (I) find the strength • to believe • Guided by • My Hopes and Dreams • Determined to • Find a way • My heart won't • Lead me astray • Feeling lost and helpless, • I'm so scared... • I don't know how I will • Get out of this mess. • But when I remember • All my dreams • I feel stronger, • I know I can't give up • Just yet • Trust your • Hopes and Dreams • (4x) • I am struggling, • 'cause beliefs, • They're causing conflict • Fuelled by passion • Clashing, • Now my friends are hurting, • I just want to end this fighting. • Can I find a way • To stop this? • Bring back peace • To all around me? • Won't give up, • To save my friends • They're in the hopes and dreams • That guide me • Trust your • Hopes and Dreams • (4x) • The struggles of my past, • They have shaped me • They made me strong, • And showed me what I could be • My doubts are gone, • A thing of yesterday, • 'Cause now I know • Nothing can stand in my way! • (I) find the strength • to believe • Guided by • My Hopes and Dreams • Determined to • Find a way • My heart won't • Lead me astray • Determination, • It will fill our hearts • Nothing can stop us, • Or can break us apart • Trust the power of your • Hopes and • of your Dreams
