We're honored to have been asked for a Neons Gone Mad treatment of another song from Final Fantasy. Oliver reponds:
It's nearly 4am and I am fluttering with happiness and excitement. I know I typically sing high praises of your music on common occasion, but this track in particular was just perfect for what I wanted. The blend of both a dreamy atmosphere, with nightmarish otherworldly instruments, perfectly fit the original nature of the song, one which is meant to be dreadful, yet, inspiring, simultaneously. You nailed that perfectly, and I just can't think of the exact words to explain just how much I loved this. ... I also want to thank you for making this beautiful trilogy of Final Fantasy tracks for the FNC Project as a whole. It really, really warms my heart. I can also now officially say I can listen to a cover of my favourite song made by one of my favourite musicians, with an ending dedicated to me specifically. That alone makes me smile so much. Thank you both for not just your willingness to compose these tracks, but for making me smile a lot recently during various different hardships with your music and other sketches. I apologize if this comment was super long winded, I'm just flooded with positive emotion right now and wish to share it with you.
Thanks also to Corwin Watts, who said: "Very nice. Music can be just as good as a wing and a prayer, and is often, as here, better!"

Asked to create a haunted clockwork / Tesla spirit radio cover of the video game Dissidia Final Fantasy's song "God in Fire," we found that the lyrics that spoke to us were in the song's bridge section. We were left wondering, "How can we stay on that bridge longer?" and "Where could that bridge lead?" The Muse whispered that one bridge could lead to another, in a network like something out of M. C. Escher. So we went through scores of Final Fantasy songs, looking for bridges and middle-eights with lyrics that resonated, so as to construct a mega-mix (with the twist that it's a mega-mix of non-famous refrains, since bridge melodies differ from the stanzas and choruses). We collected a dozen favorite bridges, linked together like the disparate themes in the soundtrack of Disney's Spectromagic parade. Most of the songs were in Japanese, and the standard English translations weren't syllabified to the music, so we had to retranslate them. (Where we retain Japanese phrases, the meanings are made clear by the rest of the translated stanza.) The voices emerging through the Tesla spirit radio had some things to say about sonic bridges for our transitions between Final Fantasy snippets. We typically present our megamix videos set in a mysterious realm we call the VIP Room, so we took that approach with this track. "We went over one bridge after another, while below us the water sang on its way and above us the purple shadows of the hills stretched forever into distant blue skies" (Regina Jais, 1930).
Now this, this is beautiful. This is exactly what a true song is to me, one the makes you feel, remember, and takes you on a new journey, all at once. This went above and beyond anything I had thought of, and I absolutely love it. The creativity you are able to put in your tracks is always great, but this has swiftly become one of my favourites. I'll be listening to this one many times in the future.
