It's finally here! I hope you enjoy my vocal arrangement of "Fields of Time" from Chrono Cross, featured on Overclocked ReMix's 70th remix album, Chronopolis.

So, I joined the Chrono fandom late - I didn’t play Trigger and Cross until adulthood, but the stories of both games and the music of Yasunori Mitsuda captured my heart and have earned a permanent place in my hall of inspiration. This remix was born of my love for the franchise and my appreciation for Mitsuda’s artistry. I noticed that several tracks from both games had similar chord progressions at certain points, so I borrowed elements from “Life ~A Distant Promise~” and “Schala’s Theme,” the vibe of “Chronomantique,”and the poignant end of “To Far Away Times” while arranging “Fields of Time: Home World.”

For this arrangement, I sang, wrote the lyrics, and performed the harp, piano, hammered dulcimer, Irish bouzouki, tenor recorder, and tambourine, while my husband contributed his djembe performance. He also shot and edited the video!

I wanted this arrangement to have a laid-back, island feel, but in the true spirit of Chrono Cross, to also convey introspection as the speaker ponders the deeper meaning of life and wonders if there is something more beyond the horizon. I hope I achieved that!

lyrics

Swaying in the breeze,
the palm trees caress the sky
Seagulls sing the song of life
Crashing on the shore,
the waves fade into sea foam
This is where I call home.

As long as I remember,
we’ve lived in Elysian peace
Time ebbs and flows like the tide
Chaos here is but a dream
But could there be another reality?
Another world, another me?

Across the sea, I gaze
Dreaming of another shore
Somehow I feel the rift,
a gate leading to the other world
Is this where angels lose their way?
What lies beyond the fields of time?
Should I go, or should I stay?
