"Lifelight" SSBU - 664 Member Orchestra Version (The 8-Bit Big Band Virtual Community Orchestra)

OH I MEANT TO TELL YOU ALL! The track is available for free to download on our bandcamp! It will be on spotify and other streaming sites soon

Truly, EVERYONE is here

you guys do auditions ?

How did they edit and mix this

holy fuck this goes so hard with this many people

Me, wondering how I missed the call to participate, and also in awe of the people who own a whole freaking contrabassoon. How does it feel to be living someone else's dream? lol

omg is that PARIS???

If you decide to do this again sometime, I’d happily join!

Bro this has to be the super smash bro movie theme if there ever is one

Thank you for creating and sharing this! This is very cool, but the room is definitely missing. There's just nothing like the acoustic and artistic interactions that take place between musicians in a room. Under the circumstances I realize it was the best you could do, and it is very well done. Most people listening blindly would not notice the difference. I do because I have a highly trained ear, and it makes me appreciate the miracle that is a performing ensemble (and a good sound engineer) that much more.

It is a SIN that this doesn't have millions of views. What an incredible performance from everyone involved!

Also cool to see an organist out there even if just for a second.

I think this is definitely my favorite arrangement of that piece so far!

Nobody talks about the pipe organ player?

seeing this makes me regret not continuing to play my own instrument 😭

I know it's an older video, but mad props to the audio and video editors!

I think the video is the only reason I got accepted onto my college jazz band lmao. I still come back to it.

One day in the distant future, we'll hear this one more time.
"Grandpa/ma, what's this I found?"
And we'll look down at the young child hearing this for the first time in their young life and a smile will creep up on our old wrinkled faces, nostalgic tears of joy welling up in our eyes.
"Sit down kiddo. Let me tell you a story. It all started with a plumber..."

There’s so much editing in this, that I’m pretty sure once you were done and the video was out, you were still editing this. I’m exhausted in the best way possible.

Lyrics:

Colours weave into a spire of flame,
Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed,
Bear this torch against the cold of the night,
Search your soul and reawaken the undying light.
On that day when the sky fell away,
Our world came to an end.
In our eyes did a fading sun rise in the dark glimmering shadows.
Silence grows in the spaces between,
Stretching out beyond time.
Rising up as a chorus of souls find a voice flickering through the void.
These little sparks cling on to life,
Everyone caught in the struggle.
And then the storms of change, they fan the flames scattering ashes to the wind.
Every soul contains a whisper of light,
Gleaming faintly as it dwindles from sight.
No escape, no greater fate to be made,
In the end the chains of time will not break.
Colours weave into a spire of flame,
Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed,
Bear this torch against the cold of the night,
Search your soul and reawaken the undying light.
As fate spins a thread without end,
New life draws its first breath.
Blossoming in a soil reclaimed from the past,
Where destiny holds fast.
Here where we stand hand clenched in hand,
Everyone caught in the struggle,
This is the day we finally find our way stepping into our tomorrow.
Every soul contains a whisper of light,
Growing louder as it calls to unite.
From the distance sings a chorus of souls,
Rising slowly, stirring heat from the coals.
Colours weave into a spire of flame,
Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed,
Bear this torch against the cold of the night,
Light will guide you on your way to the ultimate fight.
Every soul contains a whisper of light,
Growing louder as it calls to unite.
From the distance sings a chorus of souls,
Rising slowly, stirring heat from the coals.
Colours weave into a spire of flame,
Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed,
Bear this torch against the cold of the night,
Light will guide you on your way to the ultimate fight.

nice!

all musicians are immensely talented, but whoever put all this together has godlike editing skills

epic

shoutouts to the guy with the whole-ass organ

I wish I found you guys earlier I would’ve loved to participate in this

Do you guys plan on ever doing something like this again??

Nerds rise together with me!

After years of searching, I have finally found it.
The most underrated piece of art to have ever been created

I feel bad for the guy who had to mix this monstrosity, amazing!!

The fact that this isn't a viral sensation is a crime

35 seconds of suspense in the beginning before I could relax and enjoy. Had to be ready to shut it in case they started singing.

they are lucky to have all good wifi

ive never just vibed so hard in my chair dancin along

3 years since the launch of Ultimate, I can barely fathom it. I've had so much fun with it and made plenty of memories over the years

WELCOME TO THE FINAL MR. SAKURAI PRESENTS

why did i find this so late? How can I miss this big event like this?
Everyone is here.........except me

You just need two more people.

this sounds awesome. idk why but it kinda sounds like an intro music to a news cast

HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS?!? This is CRIMINAL!

You all did phenomenal. I gotta learn an instrument so I can do this. It was soo cool.

EVERYONE IS HERE!

This reminds me of that one spongebob with the song “sweet victory”

Thank You Sakurai for this beautiful game of yours!
