I've already told you how much I love this song, this movie, all of it. Your voice in this rendition is perfect! Just stunning, my friend. And this scene is one of my faves in the movie, too—it pulls the heart in such a bittersweet way and the song really recreates that longing emotion. Well done!

thank you so much for the lovely compliment, :) yes i think it is an underrated song in the score, it's very torn

Indeed. And it's been in my head since you posted the video. lol! I'm trying to learn how to play it on piano but I'm just a beginner so... it will take some time.

Oooooohh I love this song <3

I think I know all laby ones :) After that 30th anniversary of Labyrinth event I had to learn many of them. it was sweet because The Frouds and Henson's daughter were there so it was special for me in many ways. I already had recorded a version of As the World falls down, in fact the mask parts are from that older version (just the keyboard part is new) but I didn't want to have in youtube a video the film footage. It's on soundcloud and my patreon though (public)if you want to sneak on that other laby song. I'm intending to do for sure "Underground" and also the music from when Sarah recites Through dangers, I'm thinking about an instrumental with choir and just reciting :)

Neverending Story, all the way. Swamp of Sadness and the Magic Mirror song are hard to forget, along with the main theme. The songs are so instantly recognizable, and have almost a demonic ability to force the same emotions to instantly recall when heard.

Another great fantasy with a great score I love is Conan the Barbarian. Adrenaline rush!

Conan the Barbarian is a classic but I'm intending to do very simple candid covers (some a bit more complex) but mostly less complicated live ones like this. So it's a bit pretentious for me to emulate all the rich orchestration of Basil Poledouris. Neverending story I have a version halfway done shhhh :) and actually BOTH of the ones you mention because swamp of sadness is my favourite part of the score (more even than the main theme). Magic Mirror was made by Henson but after he was gone, so I'm not that attached to it, I feel it more a Gaiman/Mckean work though it's a very interesting movie

Which song is the "deedoo deedoo, deedoo deedoo"? It was the song played as Atreyu approached the mirror gate, and echoed throughout the film when Bastion read the book. Is Magic Mirror the name of a later song? Thought Henson was alive when the film released. I was never sure to what extent Henson helped make this film. Surely the luck dragon and rock giant were works of his company, at least I always thought so. Uncredited?
