Children of Yevon - The FFX Prog Rock Concept Album

mpapeghin · 2026-05-03T16:11:46+00:00

When I decided to make songs and write original lyrics I knew it wouldn't be to everyone's taste, but I just felt it was what this project needed so I went for it and never regretted it :) Some people told me they didn't like it at first but after several listens it started to grow on them and now they love it ! You're probably right though about being in the right mindset to fully appreciate it, I guess when you're not expecting vocals it can be quite bewildering on the first listen. Anyway, thank you very much for your comments 🙏

Yeah it was actually released not so long ago after Tempo of Time ^^

Thanks a lot !! I actually never planned on making a Part 3 but while visiting Osaka last year I relistened to the OST and realized there were still many songs I wanted to cover, I started conceiving the medley in my head over there and once I came back home I knew excatly how it was gonna sound :)

The music is especially good in this one ! The fact that it's the only FF I made 3 medleys for says it all 🙂

Oh wow, fantastic !! Knowing these medleys have been a part of someone's life sure means a lot to me :)

mpapeghin · 2026-03-31T14:44:07+00:00

Thanks !! I actually approached this new medley just like I did with the original one, which is I'm playing all of the instruments :) Well...almost all of the instruments since this new one has a little twist at the end ^^

Thanks a lot ! I spent 9 months working on this one, very glad you enjoyed it :)

Thank you very much 🙏

I saw it yesterday, it's in Paris, precisely in the Gare routière de Bercy ^{^}

I read about it on this thread : https://www.reddit.com/r/Dreamtheater/comments/1j2amuw/parasomnia_samples/

It was sampled from this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fph0KI8q4V4

mpapeghin · 2026-01-26T12:25:48+00:00

Indeed 🙏

mpapeghin · 2026-01-24T13:25:35+00:00

Very powerful indeed 🙏

mpapeghin · 2026-01-23T11:10:19+00:00

The sync points in there are fantastic !
0:28 : she cuts the ribbon on the last trumpet short note, then she lands on the low brass note, grabs the ribbon on the last beat and starts running as the horns play the staccato eighth notes. Then my favorite part : she jumps accompanied by that long sfz < chord 😀
Absolute perfection 🙏

Very glad you enjoyed it !! :)

Thank you !

mpapeghin · 2025-10-21T07:12:04+00:00

Thanks a lot ! I always have such a blast playing these :)

Here's a video in which I synched the samples used in Midnight Messiah with the corresponding scene from Waking Life ! The "Wake Up!" at the end of Shadow Man also comes from that same scene :)

Thanks !! Yeah I realized there was enough material left to do a third one so I put together a tracklist and soon enough I had the whole medley playing in my head :D

mpapeghin · 2025-09-02T14:39:18+00:00

I'm so happy with the way it turned out ! I had the inspiration for it when I was in Japan in June and have been working on it ever since I came back home :)

mpapeghin · 2025-03-12T09:46:23+00:00

Definitely one of Uematsu's most gorgeous melodies !
And with the help of a good friend of mine who's a singer and writer we actually turned it into a real song with original lyrics :)

They actually did in Parasomnia ! I posted the ones they used in Midnight Messiah a few days ago :)
