(Sorry for YouTube audio compression lol)
For this contest I really wanted to choose a song that I really have a connection with, so I covered Never Forget (Midnight Version) from Halo 4! I spent endless nights playing Halo 3 as a kid, and this song means a lot to me. I wanted to make this arrangement as dynamic and as moving as the original composition (hence the big differences in volume). I hope you enjoy it!
