Fatal Decision // Star Trek: The Next Generation (Auto-Destruct Synth Cover)

video upload by Amie Waters

"We've been slowly working our way through all of Star Trek, and the second time I heard this track, in the Episode "Booby Trap" I instantly knew I had to cover it, even if only 14 people recognize or care about it in the entire world. Give it a listen, its a complete trip of a track, playing with 13/8 like it's not a big deal.

This song was featured in a total of two episodes of The Next Generation and it slaps both times:
Season 2 Episode 2: Where Silence has Lease
Season 3 Episode 6: Booby Trap"

Shadow of Boseiju // Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty Official Soundtrack

video upload by Amie Waters

"I want to thank Wizards of the Coast for sponsoring this song and video! I also want to shout out @Jonathan Young for including me in this project and all the other incredible artists who made music for the Kamigawa Neon Dynasty Official Soundtrack!

Take a midnight stroll with me, through the neon streets of Towashi. Lost in existential thought, your eyes catch glimpses of the Sacred Mother, Boseiju who towers above even the highest skyscrapers. Your listless wandering leads you to the Boseiju District, a place where the clamor and din of the city finds pause. In this relative tranquility, you feel a space long missing, where your emotions can finally stretch their legs. The euphoria rises up inside of you as each step you take becomes more intentional, more deliberate. As you find a comforting place to sit and reflect, a song that has been dancing through the night air plays on a distant chime. The peace you feel grows up from the ground, connecting you to roots more ancient than you could imagine as you share a moment of deep time with the one who endures, Boseiju. #MtGNeon

VGM #197: Tarrey Town (Breath of the Wild) Ft. RichaadEB, Soundole, Curious Quail, & Josiah Everhart

video upload by Amie Waters

"I dreamt up this cover three years ago and it took me three years to finally gather all my friends and make it happen. If you don't know the cool thing about Tarrey Town from BotW, you have to find people around the world to move into this lonely town, and as new people join, the music for the town changes and gets more upbeat and exciting. Each member brings their own sounds and energy to the track until finally it all comes together when all four new residents have arrived, so I got four friends together to represent each new person moving in and we made a cover together. I think its real special, and a great way to bring this Zelda Month project to a close.

With this marks the end of Zelda Month for me. I've been doing this project for seven straight years, and I am ready for it to come to a close. This doesn't mean I am done covering Zelda music forever, just that now I am free to cover songs from the series whenever, not just in November. Maybe someday it will make a return, but for now I am very happy to end this final Zelda Month with such a celebration of friendship and joy. I have made so many incredible friendships over the last seven years, and it was an absolute joy to bring some of those wonderful people together for the grand finale and make something greater than the sum of its parts. There is a magic that only comes with collaboration, and I think this song so wonderfully captures that. 2021 was a difficult year for me, but even when things are rough, music and friends can bring so much joy into the darkness. I wanted to capture that hope, that joy in the face of darkness and share it with everyone. I hope you enjoyed this, and all the many Zelda songs I have covered over the years. I will be releasing a complete collection of Zelda music in early 2022. Thank you all for sticking with me through all these years.
-Amie"

"This song almost didn't happen, and then my awesome son collaborated and added some sick DATO jams and it turned the entire arrangement around and brought this song to life. I hope you enjoy. There is one more Zelda Month video, and it should be out very soon!"

What's Up - 4 Non Blondes [Cozy Ambient Cover]

video by Amie Waters

"April 1st has become meme day, but why only one day of memes? I give you a solid month of memes, and I even got started a little early. I actually grew up listening to 4 Non Blondes' Bigger, Better, Faster, More so when this track got meme-ified I knew it was only a matter of time before I covered it. I just wanted to make the song cozy and sweet. Like I woke in the morning, stepped outside, took a deep breath and got real high.... That is what's going on."

The Weeknd - Blinding Lights [CHILL SYNTHWAVE COVER]

video by Amie Waters

"This whole video came together because of the dudes who make music on their washer/dryer. I took an already very synthy track and made it more chill and more synth. And more keytar."

VGM #190​: Shop Closing (Animal Crossing: New Horizons) Ambient Synth Cover

video by Amie Waters

"This cover was chosen by my wonderful patrons. If you want to help select the next Patreon Pick, head on over and join the party by supporting the music I make: https://www.patreon.com/amiewatersmusic​

The prompt for this one was "Pandemic Tunes" or tracks that helped us all through this last year. I think Animal Crossing showed up at the perfect time and helped a lot of people as we navigated the Hellscape that is 2020."

VGM #188​: WORLD 1 (Super Mario 3D World) Synth-Pop Cover

video by Amie Waters

"This video came about entirely because of Dunkey's recent video where he talked about how catchy the Super Mario 3D World music was. I hope you enjoy my take on it. I am particularly proud of the mix on this one!"

VGM #187: Cult of the Zealous (Hyper Light Drifter) Epic Synth Cover

video by Amie Waters

"This video was chosen by my wonderful patrons and I decided to turn it into a 10+ minute epic. Hyper Light Drifter has one of my favorite OSTs, by one of my favorite composers, so I had to give it my all, and I hope you enjoy it!"

VGM #185: Devil's Lab (Final Fantasy III/VI) [Synth Cover]

video by Amie Waters

"Two years ago I was playing through Final Fantasy III/VI and I got so excited about the bass line to the track Devil's Lab. I even teased doing a cover of it, but then life got in the way and I ended up forgetting about it. Ended up seeing a memory on facebook of my tease video and decided to dig this cover out and do it right! I hope you enjoy and think about supporting on Patreon!"

My Neighbor Totoro -- "Stroll" || VHS SYNTHPOP COVER ||

Amie Waters

'This video was filmed on a General Electic CG-9911 VHS Camcorder. It's been a weird project I have wanted to attempt for years and was one of the most fun projects I have worked on. If people enjoy it, I may just do more in the future so let me know what you think!"

Interstellar // No Time For Caution [Epic Synth Cover]

Amie Waters

"This was a Patreon chosen song that almost got lost to 2020, but I summoned all my energy and in a moment of impractical, love fueled madness, I was able to throw caution to the wind and pull one final cover out for you all. Thank you, my supporters and patrons, for keeping me going through this awful year."

*Zelda Month* VGM #180: Molgera - Wind Waker [Synthwave Cover]

Amie Waters

"#Zeldamonth is finally here! I know I am running super late, but putting out Anointed Merit took more time than expected, and then I just had to cover RNC so things got delayed. But, I think the wait will be worth it. Here's my first cover and it is quite the banger. There will still be 3 more Zelda covers, regardless of how long they take me to finish, so know that you are getting the full Zelda Month experience, even if it extends to December.
