Neil Cicierega’s third mashup album Mouth Moods came out yesterday, featuring a mashup with Stand By Me. This reminded me that Final Fantasy XV had used Stand By Me in its opening, so I went and watched that. But then I realized it was a weird cover of the song I didn’t like very much, so I looked for an edit where someone had reinserted the original Ben E. King version from 1961. I couldn’t find one.
It was a simple fix obviously, but I did find a few ways to busy myself, such as by adjusting some levels on the dialogue and expanding the weird sound stage of the original song.
Note: I don’t really dislike the
Florence + the Machine
cover that much, I just think the original is more friendly and appropriate for this scene.
