This cover of Temple of the Moon comes from katethegreat19; you may recall her cover of Lament of the Highborne from a few years ago. This Temple of the Moon is amazingly well-performed, as was her earlier work; Kate's got an amazing voice and Temple of the Moon really shows it off. The song was composed by David Arkenstone.
The video itself is a first for katethegreat19. While the story feels a little opaque, the imagery and viewpoint are right on target. I'm glad to see Kate folding machinima into her work. I suspect she'll be able to sync the imagery to her music in subtle and effective ways.
Take the time to listen to this musical treat for a virtual trip straight to the heart of tranquil Darnassus.
Interested in the wide world of machinima? We have new movies every weekday here on WoW Moviewatch! Have suggestions for machinima we ought to feature? Toss us an email at moviewatch@wowinsider.com.
If you go to her youtube page she has links for all of her music as free downloads, she has quite a bit and it's all fantastic! She sounds a LOT like Yuki Kajiura (another fantastic artist). Lots of rewritten RPG music and some from movies as well, including one of the best versions of Sally's Song from Nightmare before Christmas I've ever heard.

Extraordinary voice, she gave me goose bumps!

I don't know that it's necessarily a story so much as a sort of meditation on the Night Elves as a people.
Either way, it's...breathtaking. :)

Her version of Bonds of Sea and Fire (Xenogears) is one of the most amazing fan made productions you'll even come across. She rocks =P

I swear, every time I hear her voice, I start crying. Few artists can move me to tears. Her voice is almost...ethereal. Amazing.

It's so nice to see music videos like THIS, instead of Gigi and her damn belf rap, cutesy, want-to-rip-my-eardrums-out nonsense.

This is beautiful, her voice is just mesmerizing.
I love at 3:08 when she comes in with those background vocals. Gives me chills. :)
