JEEEEEEEEE-ZUS, it's been a while. I am incredibly sorry that the original submission for this had to be deleted in my absence, but it has been months of absolute stupidity for me.

But now I'm back, and I've grown creatively. This submission doesn't mean much in that regard, because it's something I should have posted months ago, but I plan on staying for a while, and that means turning out more, better arrangements.

Anyway, here's the actual song for comparison:



Remember that the midi file is the best representation of how the arrangement is supposed to sound.

Good arrangement. Thanks for fixing it since last time.

*In measure 30-37, the accidental spellings are iffy. It's a chromatic section, yes, but even so, you shouldn't be having F# and Fb playing at the same time. Just think of the F#'s as Gbs from the neopolitan of F minor, and the Fb's as E naturals from the harmonic minor.

Okay, so I think I've got three possible fixes here. I can't be too careful, because I still have a lot to learn about music theory terminology.

Anyway, which of these looks best to you?:

The first one is best. The Db against E natural shouldn't feel strange at all because it's the 6th and raised 7th of the F harmonic minor scale juxtaposed against eachother.

Okay. The new version is up. Honestly, I'm really hoping this can be declared finished soon. It's taken such a long time, and the Metal Gear series page desperately needs more signature songs like this one.
