Hey all,

A few months ago I posted a video of my band "missFlag" playing a cover of Still Alive. Many of you liked it, even though the sound quality wasn't too good.

Well, since then we've received literally thousands of requests for a high quality version.. so we decided to hit the studios and record the song properly!

It's now done and we've released it as a free MP3 Smile

(Unfortunately, I'm still not allowed to post URLs here... if someone would be kind enough to visit missflag dot com, click on "portal song" and post that URL, I'd be most grateful.)

Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think!

Gil

In-class and can't listen to it now. I'll listen later.

*Edit* I lied and I just listened to it.

Only part where I thought "WTF!!" was when you said "Black MEEsa" It's pronounced MAYsa...

Other than that, very nice Smile

Very nice! You guys even took my advice and put that break after "except the ones who are dead"!

yeah and I agree with the "black meesa" thing. Also noticed he said "rechurch" instead of "research".

Thanks guys!

Yup I guess we mispronounced the word "Mesa"... it sounded like "Meesa" to us in the original. Our mistake.

Didn't anyone play half life before making the song? Neutral

That's what makes me hate portal, there's a whole fanbase around it who doesn't even have a clue about the main HL games.

I've played all the Half Life games, I guess I never payed close attention to the pronunciation of that word.

It's not like they ARTICULATE the word MESA in the games... when said quickly it can sound like "meesa".

The little mistake doesn't bother me though, the song is absolutely awesome, great work.

first audio file in the game

I agree that it doesn't ruin the song or anything. Just annoying to have such an important word messed up.

By ear... and we made our own arrangement. It's a pretty simple song Smile

I seriously can't stop listening to this version, I might even put it in portal itself.
