Hey beautiful peeps! I know I've done this already back in 2010, but 3 years later I wanted to try it again! The audio quality is A LOT better than the last one at least XD I'm sort of in the mood for re-doing stuff from a while ago XD
Originally sung by the incredible Cynthia Harrell and written by Norihiko Hibino, this very Bond-esque song was used in the intro for Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (hurr hurr).
I'm assuming the amazing picture I used is by Yoji Shinkawa, the main artist behind Metal Gear, whose style is one of my favourite art styles ever.
I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE AUDIO INVOLVED, I OWN NOTHING BUT MY VOICE, THIS IS JUST FOR FUN AND CRITIQUE PURPOSES WITH NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED.

Finally, someone who sings this properly without adding extra syllables and ruining it through warbling. Fantastic cover.

Warbling...huh I think that's the word I was looking for. I always call it the "Christina Aguilera shaky bottom lip" (shows my age...) I hate when singers get all shaky with the vibrato when they have no control over their vocals...it sounds so horrible. This rendition was nice since it showed strength and very little vibrato, maybe with more practice she can get more technical with the piece adding variations and note changes. But I really like this compared too all the fake shakiness thinking they have a good singing voice but society tells us we can't judge because it's mean and hurts their feelings etc. I sound like an asshole, but I've cringed enough.

I give my life Not for honor, but for you (snake eater) In my time, there'll be no one else Crime, it's the way I fly to you (snake eater) I'm still in a dream, snake eater Someday you go through the rain Someday you feed on a tree frog It's ordeal, the trial to survive For the day we see new light I give my life Not for honor, but for you (snake eater) In my time, there'll be no one else Crime, it's the way I fly to you (snake eater) I'm still in a dream, snake eater I'm still in a dream, snake eater (Snake eater)

Your other stuff too - Les Mis covers, etc, are too good as well. By the way, the picture is not by Yoji Shinkawa, but Ashley Wood, the guy who did the Metal Gear graphics novels and cutscenes for Port Ops and Peace Walker. :) Keep up the great work!
