And so, November comes to an end, with autumn officially over, and the holiday season just a day away. My 22nd birthday passed, the blog has been going without break in schedule for about half a year, and 2023 is almost coming to an end. I get a bit sentimental thinking about it, and felt it only fair to close the month out with a rip that sits close to me. Sunday Morning as featured in the King for Another Day tournament.

Y'know, for the first few years of my SiIva watching, it was really easily for me to filter things out based on my interests - I'm sure a lot of current SiIva viewers still operate this way. I adressed this back with Beautiful! ~ Curveball of Sean Kingston and waterwraith pokos, but there are simply so many moving pieces of the channel operating at once, that its easy to miss a lot of things along the way. And during Season 1, 2 and 3, SiIva's reverence for Kara's Flowers/Maroon 5 was part of that - I brushed it off as Chaze's silly gimmick and didn't really pay the rips themselves much mind. Yet part of what made the King for Another Day Tournament in Season 4 Episode 1 so special, was that this sort of self-selecting felt far harder to do - the tournament was a community event that asked ALL of us to participate, and part of that participation was to collectively listen to and appreciate all of the various demo tracks released by each participant. Despite their prevalence on SiIva, I had very little knowledge of Adam Levine and Maroon 5 - until suddenly, rips like Sunday Morning made me gutted that he was eliminated from the tournament so early.

And like, I get it - He never truly had a fighting chance specifically due to viewers like me. SiIvaGunner is a celebration of pop culture with a particular fascination and fixation on video game music, and the overlap between that nerdy audience and fans of 2002 Pop Rock album "Songs about Jane" by Maroon 5 realistically didn't have all too much overlap. But this arrangement was my first time ever hearing Sunday Morning, and it absolutely enamored me.

The jazzy feel of cazsu's piano playing and wolfman1405's bass are immediately gripping whilst also clearly establishing the song's tone as different from the original, punctuated to cazsu's vocal performance. I vividly remember just how much the performance spoke to me, specifically for how truly earnest it felt: it reminded me of Season 1 and the performances by Nick Oleksiak in rips like Everyday Goodbyes (SiIvaGunner Band Cover), and further reminded me of how much of a fan initiative SiIvaGunner truly is. The vocals are fantastic, but not in the sort of overproduced, perfectly-pitched studio mixed way that studio albums like Songs about Jane typically are - the vocals, when push comes to shove, feel like that of a human being, one who loves the song they're covering. That much appears to be evident, if nothing else: a commenter on the YouTube upload noted that the arrangement even takes elements from the song's original demo tapes.

Its hard for a rip made by wolfman1405 to ever disappoint, and his additions to the arrangement are unmistakeable. Yet its cazsu's performance that sells it all for me, paired with the context the arrangement slotted into - as part of the biggest SiIvaGunner event in its entire history, and as a celebration of everything the channel had accomplished in that time. It did really get me emotionally, and it was effectively the first in a set of dominoes that led to me becoming far more interested in music culture as a whole, outside of the comfortable little bubble I'd set up for myself within SiIvaGunner and VGM. Today, I'm running a blog entirely about all of the little nooks and crannies of the SiIvaGunner channel - ones I'm familiar with, ones I only discovered recently, and ones from submissions that I'd never even heard of.

Put simply, it was thanks in large part to King for Another Day tournament that I truly opened up in terms of my music tastes. And I owe so much of it to Sunday Morning, to Adam Levine, to Maroon 5 - and to caszu, wolfman1405, Andrew Garrison and Tav Bartlett.

Thank you.

This mini was fun! This is “Harder To Breathe” by Maroon 5 as I see it because of synesthesia!

Goddessdammit Linky, pull yourself together!! I headcanon that after the "The Dragon's Tears" and "Crisis at Hyrule Castle" quests, Link's behavior is so erratic and self-destructive that Purah and the sages strap him to chair and make an INTERVENTION!! They are WORRIED!! 😢 Poor Link misses Zelda so much💔💔💔

But! he has FRIENDS and they CARE FOR HIM ♥♥ ------

PS: Yup, it's a shameless homage to Edna Mode

So...that new song, huh? This is a mashup of Lemon Demon’s “Soft Fuzzy Man“ and Maroon 5′s “Harder to Breathe“ with the instrumental being of course, your favourite song and mine, “Love from the Other Side.“

I think I’m getting better with this whole “mashup” thing

#love from the other side #so much for stardust #fob8 #fob #fall out boy #lemon demon #soft fuzzy man #maroon 5 #harder to breathe #mashup

Linktober day 27: plants

I think zelda would be the type to keep sketches and research notes in her journals along with the more personal notes we see in totk/botw :) (also yes i did write several paragraphs entirely in the hylian alphabet and no i dont remember what the hell they say. good luck figuring it out)

#linktober #linktober 2023 #botw #totk #tears of the kingdom #breath of the wild #loz #legend of zelda #skribbles #idk which was harder. drawing a semi-accurate botanical illustration of a made up video game flower #or writing several real paragraphs in a made up video game language. either way im crazy <3

Todays rip: 21/08/2023

Harder To Breathe 64

Season 4 Episode 2 Featured on: Summer-Colored Smiles ~ The SiIvaSummer All-Star Festival Collection

Ripped by SlippySlider

youtube

There are some arrangement rips that have just REFUSED to leave my mind ever since they were first uploaded, to the point where its impossible for me not to think of them when I hear the song being arranged in its normal state. Arrangements on SiIva just have such a high bar of creativity to them, where every little piece of a song is replicated in creative ways using the instrumentation of another game or song. Funny enough, the subject of today's post is also an arrangement of a Maroon 5 song - a band that's now become utterly inseperable from SiIva's history due to their recurring appearances on the channel. Todays rip is Harder to Breathe 64 - an arrangement of Harder to Breathe using the instrumentation of Bowser's Theme from Super Mario 64.

Its funny that you can almost feel wherin the inspiration from this rip came from as soon as it starts - both Harder to Breathe and Bowser's Theme make such distinct first impressions through their harsh and sudden opening percussions, which linger throughout the song to give them a sort of underlying menacing tone. Harder to Breathe 64 effectively sets out to answer what would happen if Harder to Breathe was built around the Bowser's Theme percussion, and just escalates from there with more and more creative substitutes. Not only are both songs absolute bangers that work perfectly together, but SlippySlider found some flat-out brilliant uses of Mario 64's sound design to incorporate into the song. Most notable is Mario's vocal samples being sprinkled in throughout, slight "wahoos" and "hah"s, rounded out with the heavy breathing from the original song being replaced with Mario's low-health panting.

The more you listen to this arrangement, the more things like this you pick up on - you'll start listening just due to how good the arrangement is, only to start replaying just to uncover all of the rip's little secrets. SlippySlider did a fantastic job with this - particularly for being their first ever contribution to the channel - and I hope they'll one day be able to continue impressing us in the future.

stop thinking so hard about it dude ur gnna get a headache

#breath of the wild #loz #tloz #link #zelda #in general i dont think of botws story so much as others but i also have this idea in my head of link regaining his memories but never #never quite being able to remember her face or even who exactly she was to him . like he sees how they interact in his memory but #he cant remember his own feelings. and maybe he remembers at the end when he sees her but maybe its more complicated than that #like in botw you can make the most of a wartorn world and have all kind of adventures and sidequests and build a home and a town and meet #new people and you cant do all of that on top of the 100 year sleep without coming out of it a different person.#which isnt bad. but i just imagine some things could get harder and harder to remember #' i dont think of botw's story as much as others ' maybe i do actually #meat art

Me drawing BotW Sidon: Oh, this isn't so bad. The jewelry is a little complex, but I can simplify it and still make it look good.

Me drawing TotK Sidon: *spending an hour on making the crown look right* What did I do to deserve this pain.

aww you know, i actually really do like the idea of double boy dad bakugou 🥺

your first son being a little angel and you and katsuki are both perfectly satisfied, and then maybe another bug comes as a surprise a few years later and he turns out to be a heinous little menace — and katsuki didn't think he'd love having a brat of a child so much 🥺

#bc he's so nervous to be a dad the first time right #and his first boy comes out and he's a little doll doesn’t cry so much teaches katsuki some patience and how to be soft and gentle #for a lil babey #and it's the perfect scenario for him to grow being into a father #and he's happy !! doesn't think it could get better !! feels like yall really lucked out !!#and then you find out you're having another and then he gets worried bc he's not sure how it could get better than it is #and he has a goddamn BRAT of a son #screams his head off and cries and fights and doesn't listen to a THING #and he had the first few years to grasp fatherhood #to get a handle on it #and he thought it would be harder with a feisty second son — and it *is*#but he also loves it LOL #it adds like. just the right amount of chaos and drama he grew up with ?? if that makes sense ???#bc he had to calm down a lot for his first boy #and maybe even you #but he and his little hellion are too much alike and it's almost like a breath of fresh air #cw children #✿ thoughts: bakugou #✿ theme: dad bakugou
