Metroid Prime Credits - Vocal Version by Erutan
My vocal rendition of Metroid Prime's credits theme :)
This was a challenge! I had a blast writing the lyrics. I wrote them from a Chozo oracle's point of view and tried to work in as much lore as I could.
It was a request from one of my kickstarter backers, August!
My voice is still extremely temperamental and has recently taken a turn for the worst - I have an appointment to have my vocal cords looked at this week. I managed to finish this cover, but I don't entirely like how I sound in places. Hopefully it's just some recurrent laryngitis.
The video was shot solely by my husband (with help from me). We're both beginners at this! But, we learn so much with each video we shoot. This time we did a shoot at night which was very difficult! :O We also borrowed a lot for this video! (lights!) (parent's lawn!) (cape!)
The Chozo costume was really fun to put together as well. I got the mask from a lovely lady on Etsy (MiesmesaBerni) and I will treasure it forever @_@

LYRICS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The mind's eye wakes, it is the dawn
An end to peace, an end to song
And unawares, amidst the quakes
The future comes, the mind's eye wakes
Send our hopes into space
The blood of our race
The bravest and wisest
Peril divides us
Left with no choice
The oracle's voice cries
Chaos is nigh
Beautiful world
Shining as we fall to its endless rage
Blood and teeth closing in
Time's running out
Life flutters beneath my dying hands
A perfect being
A purpose to our sacrifice
Go forth into the night
Oh creature of might
Of terrible power
Those you devour
Shall tread no more
The chaos of war must
Fade into dreams
I see a room of glass crushed underneath the earth
A floating city forgotten in the sky
And ghosts that kill unseen
With faces so familiar to me
Flows from the darkness
To home it descends
The bones they yet linger
The last of our kin
Though there's death at the end
A light will ascend
To fight for the fallen
Answer the calling
In Chozo armor
Wear it with honor
Bring us to rest
Bear our hopes into space
Blood-child of our race
Though peril divides us
One heart unites us
Heir to our wisdom
Hunter most fearsome
Bring us to rest
Bring us to rest...

Unfortunately she cannot sing anymore :'( "As for updates on Erutan, my chest voice is completely gone. It breaks and quavers uncontrollably and this does not seem to be changing. Doctor's opinions are that I have undergone a small change in the apparatus that controls my vocal cords due to aging. It is not large enough to affect my talking voice much, but is enough to ruin my regular singing voice. There is no cure because it isn't technically a medical issue. There is nothing they can do. My head voice/classical voice is blessedly unaffected - however I am afraid to start using it in covers because I will sound - completely - different. Not to mention it is very weak, whiny and untrained as I have almost never used it. I am struggling with this. While I am figuring all this out I will be uploading instrumentals to The Menagerie. There is nothing wrong with my fingers :) See you there!"

What happened to your channel?? I loved all your covers.
I'll start by saying this: Metroid's lore is HIGHLY unappreciated and it deserves SOOOOOO much more respect. Opinions aside, the lore of Samus Aran herself is thee most tragic of all Nintendo tales, and it should be more accounted for. I literally just searched for almost 2 hours for Metroid songs and covers with lyrics, and aside from your rendition, the only other song I could find was Zircon's. It's artists like you that truly make art in multiple forms reach their true potential. I'm REALLY inspired by this, and you've created a spark in me. The Chozo would be proud, seriously. Thank you.

I came from the future to say Metroid 5 was finally released, and it’s a masterpiece. It got this amazing franchise more popular than ever!
I must confess, I wasn't previously familiar with the credits theme from Metroid Prime and after watching this, I naturally went to listen to the original - probably what a lot of others did too! I'm totally in shock. How you managed to turn the original piece into ...into this. It was brilliant in its own right, but when you say it was a challenge, I have no doubts about that at all. It's inspiring that you really know who you are as an artist to the point you can basically take a song like the original and translate it so beautifully into something so 'Erutan'. That's not just talent, Kate... it really is a kind of magic. Thank you for creating and sharing your work with us! ^u^;

@@katethegreat19 o I am trembling as I say this: for I've never assented to be a fan before, my foolish pride -- & very little of the music was worthy. If any. There was a fair amount of listenable music in the maelstrom of the 60s, & some even had shimmering beauty & wonder & all. But This. But this. As I've said elsewhere, many years gone, even decades, & I arrived home with not just a desperate hunger for beauty but a deep deep need for beauty, Not to have, not to control but as it were to breathe. Musashi said "Death is light as a feather: Duty is heavier than a mountain." He was right. Yet somehow I have come to be free of Onerous Duty. An instance of pure Grace. I have been gifted with pure Beauty, again & again. I have learned to weep in release & healing & joy. Your music has been the largest part of that. What ya'll have done so much, so many times has slain me to my knees & undone me. Never have I seen more beautiful Dance than your wonderful Avian -- warrior? -- danced in this video. Never. I've seen, rarely, as good. What a beautiful, powerful, graceful Person she is. One thousand years ago just after I returned from the War, I studied dance with many graceful & talented women, & a few men. Began to Heal. Studied Northern Yang Style Tai Ch'i Chuan. Began to Heal. But it was not yet that season. It was the Season of War. But that's all over. What I want is to know how that I can purchase every ringing drop of music & video in your ouevre. Did I spell that right? For I wish to have it lawfully, & it be also a blessing to you; & it be so that, far from the way of cell phones, I can bring it out & bathe in it, & drink & be refreshed & it be as if I am hearing it all anew. ------------ Old Wolf ------------

you are so lucky erutan replied you and your righting is awesome
it is truly amazing how you can turn a simple song from the end of a game, into a song describing a whole race, putting in references from games in the franchise. You have gained yourself another subscriber. :)
Kate my goodness, this is magical!! Your voice sounds really pure and lovely, and I'm just blown away by how you layered the vocal harmonies. The harp is gorgeous, and I love the video itself, too--The night shots were really creative (I don't know if it's lights or the reflection of water, but the way it's shining on you is neat), and I love the different nature/plant shots you guys worked in as well :) What camera/lights did you use? I would certainly not have guessed that you and your husband were new to this haha!

Thanks so much! We spent about two weeks on the video and had a lot of failed shooting days due to us not knowing the correct camera settings for various things xD Ah! It was okay for most of the recording, but I started experiencing pain and vocal fatigue in the days after - even when just singing a little - and it sounds very strained at the moment. Hoping its just laryngitis due to allergies and nothing else ^w^;
WHOEVER REQUESTED THIS, THANK YOU
Kate I've been following you for years now, and I remember when you were the first in my opinion to make it big on making your own covers of songs. If people don't have nice things to say because your videos aren't "flashy" can get over them selves. You have real talent and are more than that, you stay true to who you are. I have always looked up to you and idolized you. With all the new "game cover girls" who are coming out you are still my all time favorite! Because its not all about your beauty and looks it's about the music and how powerful of the emotions you can make people feel. So please keep making music and your beautiful covers and stay true to who you are! Because you are Amazing!!! :)
I'm so glad this popped up in my recommendations! Despite having followed your channel recently I didn't realise you had a Metroid Song with lyrics o: Absolutely beautiful
I did not imagine a "pseudo-celtic" version of Metroid Prime's theme (with vocals) would sound so good, and yet here you are! XD That was beautiful.
how have I just discovered this 8 years later? This makes me so hyped for Metroid Prime 4!
Excuse me for a moment while I go cry tears of joy, happiness, and sheer wonder... Words cannot describe the beauty you have put forth through this song. You truly have outdone yourself, Kate! Thank you for sharing this masterpiece with us!

As usual I love the music and vocals (and this is one of new favorites from you) but your live videos seem to be improving by leaps and bounds with every video you make! I love this. :)
So beautiful as always. I hope your vocal cords recover perfectly and I pray for your perfect health
That chozo cosplay is amazing also your voice is simply enchanting fantastic job! :) Keep of the great work!
HOLY SHIT how did I not know you made a metroid song cover?? This is one of my all-time favorite game franchises, and it’s criminally underrated
The amount of work you put into this really shows. Fantastic new settings, costumes, and music.
one of the most beautiful performances I have ever seen and heard
I've never realised that they were wearing bird mask to represent the Chozos.

This is absolutely stunning!!! Everything about this makes me feel like im in another dimension:) Your voice is so soothing and majestic. This is what I call real music. Im a huge fan!!!
Your music calms me on my hard days, and on happy ones too, that feeling of tranquility and harmony is so strong that it helps me even in my anxiety, it is so beautiful to know that your voice exists. Thanks for share it with us❤️
This is such a beautiful rendition! I know this is Metroid, but your video also gives me strong Yennefer vibes. Wonderful and magical as always Erutan. I hope you are doing well.
One of my absolute favorites from Erutan! Listen to it all the time.
Omg what are you talking about????!! You sound absolutely beautiful. You have immense control and you are very musical. Your tone is so angelic.
The lyrics are excellent. So evocative. You said you took a Chozo oracle's perspective. You've nailed it. What a magical listen.
Awesome metroid music arranging. I am Japanese so I can't understand lyrics well,but I am very impressed by your beautiful voices. I love this.Thank you. Nintendo,please new metroid for WiiU or 3DS.
I love what you do with a passion you can't imagine. Once again - you made something so breathtaking, otherworldly and sublime! Thank you.
it sounds so beautyful :D i love your music thanks for uploading :) i can`t wait to hear your next song :D
Metroid Prime is one of my favorite games and after hearing this I was left speechless. Kate you did an amazing job as always and I really appreciate the amount of work that you put into the music from start to finish. Keep up the great work ♡♡ it's so beautiful *tears*
When i heard her singing im 10000% sure my jaw went to Jupiter. yup. Hehe
Love the Metroid Prime cover! The lyrics are inspired, and I am really impressed with the lighting effects! Truly a great job!
Forever in love with your voice.... Beautiful lyrics by the way ! I love everything in this video actually... And you did very well with all the stuff about lights (day or night) it's so great ! Really love it *-* Thank you for this beautiful video ~ And take care of you :3
Both of your costumes are epic :D. The bird costume really do resemble the Chozo xD. Thanks for doing the Metroid series justice with this beautiful cover :).
As a huge Metroid fan, i have to say that this belongs in the next game! Amazing work as always! Damned beautiful!
Amazing ! And the costumes and settings are beautiful, it's so great to see you featured in clips like this one ! :) And the arrangements are always magnificient and give the song a complete other atmosphere...
I applaud you on this very much. I am a big Metroid fan (ALL THE FRANCHISE) and love how you managed this. Love the Chozo mask too, you are very talented.
Though this might have been difficult for you to do and though you aren't entirely satisfied with the performance, I must give you kudos for making it sound so wondrous. Your efforts in creating the video deserve praise as well. I thought it was not only beautiful and appealing but helped enhance the emotional effect of the music as I listened to it. Thank you for bringing more joy to the world!
I love this so much. The lyrics fit so well
Ohh! A new song and it's absolutely gorgeous. I'm sorry to hear about your vocals. I hope everything will be alright in the end c: I can't wait for the MP3 download
How I have miss your video game covers. Thanks for a great Halloween treat!
I'm literally crying after watching and listening to this, thank you so much! She's finally back!
Amazing! Just AMAZING as usual. ^^ I always love seeing new stuff from you. =) You are extremely talented. =D
This is so beautiful. I swear everytime I hear your voice its like all the emotions inside of me burst at the seams. I love the video as well. What were those purple things? The shots were beautiful. As well as everything else. I started listening over a year ago and I'm still stunned every time you make a new video
OMG this is so beautifully done. OMG keep it up Kate your voice is just amazing in this video (as well as other video to) :D
I've been a fan for such a long time and just want to say I love the creative direction your videos have taken!:)
Argh, I watched your Monster Hunter vidddd ages ago (it's amazing) and I found this searching things for Metroid's 30th anniversary... You are supremely talented and I love this
I have "saved" this video in a playlist in KZread when I can listen again and now, with the release of the Metroid Prime Remastered game is the time to listen this all times a day XD
Beautiful work, Erutan! I yet have not played Metroid Prime, but this song is catchy! Astonishing!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! Your voice is so beautiful and the way you sing is absolutely angelic! Keep up the great work! I love your songs! :D
As a Metroid Prime Trilogy fan/Metroid fan This is just breathtaking, beautiful. Great Job with the lyrics and vocals and finding a way to get past the futuristic synth with them.
This is incredibly beautiful! The flow of the video is wonderful and your voice is just simply heavenly. Everything about this is just soothing to me!(:
Oh my God! I've got goosebumps at the very beggining! So beautiful ^_^
Absolutely amazing as always!!
Fantastic cover and the lyrics were so good.....Now I've got the itch to play some Metroid.
Haven't seen you around for awhile. So glad to see you're back!!!
I always look forward to a new cover from you. I have been subscribed since I first came across your Rose of May song and have enjoyed listening to your singing voice and it feels me with great joy that you did a cover from my favorite game series as well as the first game I played on the gamecube. I hope that you will be able to do more covers from the metriod series.
I'm speechless.....this is beautiful....it somehow makes my spine get chills and my heart leap.....that's how good this music has an effect on me....I honestly can't find words to describe this.....but its just that amazing!
this is beautiful i love all of your songs keep up the wonderful work :D
Oooh! I love the artistry in this! Both in the music and the video itself!
Gods and Goddesses. I...I don't even kow what to say! I always get excited when you release a new video, but the best thing by far is watching you as your songs and videos get better and better and better and exploding into sparkly fairy-dust when listening to your music! This is just pure magic, and...daaang. The light and the music and everything plays so well together *_____* Keep it up Kate, you're my favourite musician in the whole world! Oh, and I hope your vocal chords get better soon ^^
Dear lord.. this video is gorgeous on every single level. I can't even begin... the visuals are beautiful, mysterious and intriguing. Your music is always beautiful, especially when you take into consideration the alterations in the arrangement; it suits your style and just. Is amazing.
I feel like your chozo's name would be soothing voice. Thank you for making this
Thank you for this. Metroid Prime's soundtrack really connected with me and this rendition is beyond superb.
Another very beautiful song. I have been a fan ever since i heard your rendition of bonds of sea and fire which is still one of my favorites. I hope that your voice recovers and please make sure to rest your vocal cords when needed my fiance sings opera and i have to continually remind her to rest. Keep making these beautiful renditions and stay healthy. Really good work both of you.
I am absolutely blown away by how incredible this is! The lyrics, the vocals... breathtaking and magical! All the imagery is really great too, my only request would be more close ups of your face as you sing! Like at 1:33... I really enjoy watching your facial expressions there! Loved the video overall, but also want more close up Kate-face next time please!

You guys put together an amazing creative world with your props. For the song itself...just wow. You never cease to amaze me; even if you feel there was error in your voice I couldn't hear it. I hope you are alright and will recover quickly, but nonetheless this was really beautiful and I can't wait to share it. I love how well your harmonies come together, really gives power to some of those parts.
It astonishes me what you can do with such a simple tune as your starting point! Marvellous
this is incredible, Metroid prime is by far my favorite video game series and you conducted this perfectly.
Another Masterpiece Kate, So excited ^.^
i love it!!! its simple amazing! beautiful voice, my favorite videogame, just beautiful!
So beautiful. the moment you started singing, I was entranced and pulled into the song until its very sad end. Well done.
This song cover has surpassed Bonds of Sea and Fire as my favorite cover you have done. It was my favorite song for years and I honestly never thought you would do a cover I enjoyed more, but you did. :)

Kate, i really love what you did and doing. Your songs, original and covers both, are... special. Like idk...like music goes straight to the soul. Magical melodies and beautiful words just soothes my heart and at the same time fuels imagination. I leave this comment here, but i love all your songs. Last time when i had paid for the music was more than 15 years ago - without home access to the Web and free content. I have a lot of music in personal playlists, more than 2500 songs actually BUT only for yours i want to pay. Just to show my appreciation. In a month i will get paid at work. I saw your amazon page and... to enjoying your music at not the best quality is sacrilege, so i want to pay for that! Hope you will continue your hard work. Thank you!
I love this so much !! Soo much ty for the video
Amazing song Kate! Night shots were amazing too! Congratulations :D
I can't believe no one commented yet! This is amazing Kate! I'm in love with this song, it does incredible justice to the Prime trilogy!
I never thought I could fall more in love with your music... I just did *Heart eyes* YOUR MUSIC IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY DAY.... No, no. My EARS.
I first learned about you through your Rains of Castamere cover and thirstily watched the other videos and subscribed to you. You can imagine how thrilled I was to see a new video by you in my subscriptions list. And the anticipation was even excelled, really really beautiful work! Please keep up the good work, but watch for your health. I do not know what the problems are/were you regularily refer to, but make sure you let your body heal thoroughly! Again, I love your work, and your husband (lucky man, really!) did a great job as well =)

Aw, thanks so much, that makes me really happy! The health problems are mainly my vocal cords being unhappy/swollen and causing issues like nodes and sores.

Amazing as always.
Good Lord, this is brilliant. I hope your voice gets better soon!
Salute. You really captured the Chozo civilization. I really did believe the Chozo to be very ancient in culture, but also advanced in technology. Well done. ^_^
Wow. It was amazing. You are incredibly good at creating lyrics for songs that don't have them, but should. Like the Monster Hunter one, still my favourite.
Hi Kate. You have done another excellent piece. I hope your vocal chords get better. It sucks that you have such an angelic voice and to only be troubled by this. Please take care and maybe give your voice the rest it needs to get better. Either way, I think you are very talented and a positive influence in this world. Keep it up!
This is beautiful. Thank you.
