Songs of the Tribes

[theFez]

Listen Here: Sylph Lullaby

 

"Deep in the shroud

Safe from the storm

Little ones sleep

In Lord Ramuh’s arms

 

Swift may they grow

And safe may they stay

As These Ones watch over

Until they awake

 

Little ones, These ones eagerly await

Looking after, making laughter, having fun

Wishes these ones softly sing

Of shade and rain to bring those blossoming

Into the sun "

 

 

 

IC -Thanks to AIM’s aethernet radio system, I’m able to broadcast some of the Beast Tribe folk music I’ve been collecting! This is an arrangement of a song the Sylphs sing to their Podlings as they grow. I hope you enjoy it, and look forward to discovering more fascinating songs from the tribes!

 

 

OOC- This is the first song in a series called "Songs of the Tribes". It's my attempt to create original music within the style of a pre-existing game. In this case Final Fantasy 14, and more specifically to this song the Sylph/Ramuh Beast Tribe. You could probably also call it Musical Fanart.

 

I'll post more here as I make more, thanks for listening!

Really enjoyed it. I feel like you captured some of the essence behind many of the FF songs both in composition and vocals.

[Rila]

This is just so awesome! As someone who's had the chance to hear some of the work in progress stages, being able to enjoy the finished song is just amazing.

 

What's really cool about this is that I can visualize running around in East Shroud and actually hearing this in game during a Sylph quest. It's as if you've taken a photo reference of someone and drawn them at a different angle but still managed to capture their personality. Only, you know, in music.

 

Anyway, tl;dr: you're amazing and I love you.

Thank you, Lekka. That's a high compliment, and definitely what I was trying to go for.

NOW TURN THY GAZE AHEAD, AND LOOK TO THE MO-

 

 

Wait, wrong song >.>

Nice work!

 

I remember I was trying to write songs for my character when I originally conceptualized him as a bard, but I don't know anything about song writing and was basically just gunning for rhyming lyrics, haha.

 

I admit... I was a little disappointed at first because I came in here expecting a miqo'te tribal song of sorts(which would be amaaaazingg) but this was so, very cute. I adore Little Solace Ones!

 

 

Edit:

OH YOU ACTUALLY MADE ONE...

hahaha, yea the link's not super obvious.... maybe I'll edit it to make it more so.

 

I'll have to poke around and see what I can find in terms of materials to go on for a Miqo'te folk song (musical materials). With the Beast Tribes its a bit easier, because they have one or two themes that are exclusive to their camp/area + primal music. Totally up for attempting to make something in the FF style, if anyone wants to kind of spitball what kind of instrumentation and style they think their respective races would have for their music.

 

Thanks for the reply!
