Green Hill Zone is no longer "simply a song", but rather the spirit of a time, the intimate essence of a being. It's the most sublime and immediately poignant/bittersweet synthesis of the spirit of videogames. It automatically brings about a sentiment of friendship, nostalgia and naivety of an epoch; the childish discovery of videogames as a nascent medium, with a lot still to be discovered along the way. It's a track so powerful that it is as if absence could be directly represented as a (forever lost) object. Something not even Nintendo's master composer, Mr. Koji Kondo himself, could ever accomplish. In other words, Green Hill Zone is not only a nice representation of videogames, it IS videogames. It is us in our deepest and most unconfessable hearts.
@Tidder T like i said, everyone has different belives. If your think he is a fictional character, go for it. There is no need to be rude about ones belives.
The original green hill zone music will always hit that perfect nostalgia nerve, reminding me of when I would go to my uncle's house and play sonic the hedgehog; streets of rage, golden axe and revenge of shinobi on the 6 pak; as well as sonic 2 and some super hard jurassic park game. I listened to the original green hill zone recently, and it hit me with childhood memories so hard it made me want to cry :').
SirHickory Yes. It is the perfect, direct and universal synthesis of videogames' naive discovery and the social utopia of the 90's as a whole. Such a time probably will never be repeated again.
I have recently been teaching - yes, teaching! - the history of videogames to some students, with particular reference to the 1990s. Sonic was one of the last of the truly innocent 4th generation games, before things started getting serious. Such memories... ❤️🙂😍
Just how are you this musically talented and not more popular than the trashy celebrities nowadays? Seriously man, you have some serious skill and great ears for music to pull this kind of stuff off, I love it! ^^
MasterX117 Um, dude, with the way I worded my question, and the way you worded your answer, you answer could be interpreted as meaning "he's not more popular than trashy celebrities because he loves music and it isn't his job or hobby." That doesn't sound right to me. ^^'''''
dreamerofchaos1 I know you we're giving him a positive comment, at the same time telling you the truth that he loves music that's why he does this, chill man i was not trying to aggravate you.
...what? Now I'm confused. You say you love sonic, but after seeing some sonic executable program (or something...) you've never played a sonic game afterwards?!
Wish there was an interactive app or youtube element that enabled isolation of each voice/sound. That shit is so fye im prolly finna sample this for a beat 🥹
Unbelievable talent! I can only be thankful that TH-cam has opened a way for such amazing people to share themselves with the world. More power to you, sir!
***** Mackenzie Goodnough Look, I like Pewds, I subscribe to him. But I'm saying that this guy, in my eyes (and that is my opinion, so you can keep yours) has more talent than Pewds. And I was making the comparison that they both do vids on gaming. However, Pewds has much more subscribers and views while this chap is greatly overlooked. Sorry if I offended you, but I was just saying my opinion.
ʟᴏʟᴅᴀᴡɴツ Are you high? Sure they can but.. what are the chances ? So you mean.. if I say, you don't know Greek Mythology because you're clearly like 7.. you'll say any seven year old can learn it.. Sure because every seven year old can.. Saying you're clearly like eleven means being specific.. You think everything is specific? Every AFRICANS are black..
@@gukeoke6312 It sounds to me like it's using autotune, but more just to clean up tiny mistakes rather than completely overhaul his original vocals, which I'm fine with.
Dude, the first time i played sonic i was like 9, right now I’m 14 and this beautiful video already makes me feel nostalgic. I’m crying right now, you are literally Jesus.
I WILL NOW REPEAT THE ENTIRE SONG!!!! bababababababababa babababababababababababababababa babababababababababababababa. bababababababababababababababa bababababababababababa! Thank You.
Ohnkel Onkel I WILL NOW REPEAT THE ENTIRE SONG (CORRECTLY)!!!! papapapapapapapapa papapapapapapapapapapapapapapapa papapapapapapapapapapapapapa. papapapapapapapapapapapapapapa papapapapapapapapapapa! Thank You.
A true musician. I'm curious if you play any instruments? Like the piano or guitar. You hear and replicate such complex melodies so accurately it's scary. That is definitely a skill that only very musically inclined people with a keen sense of hearing can replicate. Bravo good sir. Bravo.
I wish I've seen this sooner, so many childhood memories now I'm graduating high school. Thank you for making this, it's really appreciated and well done❤❤❤
My physical education teacher always plays green hill zone whenever we're running laps, he is someone to respect
I wish I had your pe teacher
Can I transfer to ur sch?
mayala. I would love that! That sounds awesome haha
That's fucking sick!
What a madlad
The bass tones sounds so nice

Bass _always_ sounds good
26 years later and this theme is still make me cry

Aw das sweet
Wait cry
How
It's that feeling of being a kid again👍👍👍👍🙏
Its amazing how none of this came from an instrument. That this is all coming from smooth. Epic job on an epic song.
Some would disagree. Some would say Voice is an instrument and the hardest to Master of them all and keep in tune and in check of them all lol
Great voice and beard.
I bet he uses vegan beard cream
Yes, both voice and beard

I just realized green Hill zone is the reason Sonic is what it still is

A day before my birthday....and I love Sonic! :D
Weeeeell happy birthday, y'all!
Ever since i saw sonic.exe, I've never played a sonic game. no joke.

Now I'm confused. You say you love sonic, but after seeing some sonic executable program (or something...) you've never played a sonic game afterwards?!
Kronie They are two different people.... -_- also, sonic.exe is a creepypasta, SOG did a vid on it that you can check out if intressed.
oh dang...sorry about that XD my notifications thing is all messy. It looked like the same guy had said both comments lol

Unbelievable talent! I can only be thankful that TH-cam has opened a way for such amazing people to share themselves with the world. More power to you, sir!
Nothing beats old school video game music. My childhood is flooding my eyes right now.
This guy isnt just a TH-camr. Hes a musician, and a excellent one at that. Fuck pewds man, this guys jesus.
Well said, Edgeworth.
while i agree this guy is awesome, you lose a point for relevance. dissing on pewdie, who has nothing to do with what this guy is doing was pointless

As of today. The movie is looking so much better fam!
i love the random cat cameos X3
You're videos never fail to cheer me up, amazing.
The minute that I saw the word 'Acapella', I thought this would suck. Holy _shit_ was I wrong! This is almost as good as the game music!
Take a listen to Aquatic Ambience and bring a pair with you.
*****
I say 'almost' because I usually place the original ahead of anything else. This goes for all music. It's a habit of mine.
***** and mainly because the original this would have never existed in the first place.
*****
And they seldom do improve the original songs.
Me too!!!
Ever want to see Jesus cuddle with a cat, play sonic and sing about It all at the same time? here you go
cara... isso e que e talento meu parabens
