Tune for Tuesday for Week of 11/21/2023: "Kokiri Forest" as performed by The Consouls

This week's Tune for Tuesday, "Kokiri Forest" as performed by The Consouls, is a fantastic jazz cover of one of the first songs one hears upon starting up a brand new file in a marvelous game celebrating its 25th birthday today: The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time! This landmark game is responsible for many a fond memory of mine as well as countless other fans across the globe, and its stellar soundtrack is just one of many reasons for it!

Master of Your Fate GMV

Back in the early days of YouTube, one of the first fan made music videos I ever came across was an old GMV for Kingdom Hearts using a certain musical number from Teen Titans. It's been nearly two decades, and I've had the urge to do my own take it, what with all the new Kingdom Hearts games that have been released in the time since. I just hope I did the original video as well both Kingdom Hearts & Teen Titans the proper justice they deserve. But compared to even my first AMVs, this one took an absurd amount of time to make. And not for a lack of footage, audio, or anything like that. Both the recording and video editing software I've been using to make my music videos has been giving me a bizarre amount of trouble over the past several months, and I've been a bunch of other general technological issues that have been driving me up the wall. What should have been a simple, fun little tribute to one of my first AMVs/GMVs turned into such a slog that I honestly feel that I need to take a break from making music videos for the foreseeable future. I hope it won't be forever, because I have so many other ideas for other videos to craft. But I don't want to be completely soured on the whole process, so I think I need to step away from making music videos for a little while. I'm sorry.
