“Settle down now, it’s story time...” This is one of my favorite games for a reason, just outside the top 10. First story to ever make me cry. Honestly, we don’t need a Galaxy 3. I found my home in this one right here...
Welp this was the game I found out my first favorite song which was the observatory music and got scarred of the dark Mario's also played the clarinet.
Funny story: Mark was my first ever clarinet teacher, and he was awesome. Just a master at the instrument. His talent is simply impeccable, and I can't stress enough how awesome he is. He taught me a few really important things about the clarinet back in 2015, and I won't ever forget them. The other funny thing is that the Alto Sax 2/Flute guy Josh Plottner was ALSO my teacher after Mark, and I learned so much from him too! Both of those guys are badasses, just unbelievably super talented. Josh knows like 25+ instruments also, and has basically made it his goal to learn as many instruments as possible too lol. Anyway, I'm so happy to see this timeless piece covered by some of my favorite musicians and 2 teachers, it's definitely inspiring. Well done guys
I still can't quite believe you've managed to get such an amazingly high quality band together for this project. It's pure magic to hear these songs done true justice by so many wonderful musicians, and of course the arrangement.
God, the Comet Observatory theme always feels like home to me. After a tough boss fight or those damned purple coin missions (lookin' at you Dreadnaught), this theme really helped ease the nerves as you wandered around the pleasant little hub.
I’m at college working on math homework, but this brought me back to sitting in front of the TV with my Wii at home. Thank you guys for this. This was one of my favorite video games ever.
I never got Mario Galaxy on the original Wii because my parents didn't want me playing video games since I was pretty young, but this brings back so many memories of seeing the commercials and my friends play it. Truly a masterpiece.
I started crying out of joy when I heard this nostalgic melody. God I remember all the happy memories, how I used to adore the sound track and simply remain on the space station to listen to this masterpiece. It filled me with joy and still does today. Thank you all so very much. I will listen to this whenever I am sad as of now.
As a jazz musician I’m amazed at these arrangements you’ve been putting out, not only is this gorgeous, but after the key change, the recapitulation of the melody just exudes the spirit and sound of broadway and New York, it truly is incredible
I tuned into the live stream right when this song played, cried like a frickin baby from nostalgia. Went on a huge ass nostalgia trip because of it. Thanks for reminding me of favorite single player Nintendo game. Nothing will ever remind me how much I love this game more than Rosalina's Observatory and its theme.
Yep. The OST to this game was recorded with mostly live instruments, right? Including strings and brass? It’s one thing when the OG is just FM with four-voice polyphony, quite another when it is, itself, an orchestral piece.
Honestly, the level of polish on this chart is in a galaxy all it’s own, but Mark has got some major chops on the clarinet. This made an amazing ballad to show off your band’s skills. I remember my time in a big band. I always wanted to have strings incorporated and do more doubling (sax player, if you couldn’t tell). I always thought it was really cool to transition to flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, or piccolo for part of a piece, it really changes the chart IMO for that section, if done well.
Something about this arrangement and this song itself just brings shivers up and down my spine and a big, cheerful smile on my face every time I hear it.
Fucking HELL this was just beautiful from start to finish. BEAUTIFUL, I honestly had happy shivers the entire time, borderline wanted to cry it was legitimately heavenly.
Having worked out of Bunker a lot, I’m honestly impressed you guys managed to finagle a legit big band into that space - it’s not that big a room! Great sounding arrangement and beautiful recording.
God this is so damn nostalgic for me that I literally began to tear up as soon as the song really kicked into the main theme. Amazing job, just beautiful.
The Super Mario Galaxy games were my CHILDHOOD, this song just brings back so many memories of my brother and I fooling around in the observatory after hours of raging
I loved every single second of that! 😍. That guy is something else! I would love to be as good as him on sax! You sure attract a lot of talent 8-Bit Big Band, but deservedly so because you create some of the best music on this platform! And you absolutely nailed it with this piece, it was everything I hoped it would be! I hope more galaxy music is in the future! Melty Monster and other hot worlds, Spacejunk, the fan favourite Gusty Garden, The Castle/Boss levels, Buoy Base, Puzzle Plank, there are so many good ones to choose from! Keep up the great work guys I love your work! :D
This has always been my favorite piece in Super Mario Galaxy--even more than Gusty Gardens--because of how much time I spent just exploring and frolicking around the Observatory. Thank you so much! The feels certainly hit me.
How did I not find this channel earlier?! Why are the views of this video only in the tens of thousands?! And why does it have only 88,000 subscribers?! It deserves way more!
I love this so much. Absolutely stellar arrangement (I'm a sucker for a good jazz waltz) and Mark and the band sound INCREDIBLE. Absolutely beautiful music. Thank you for this!!
Where have you been all my life? This channel is so amazing, and I don't even know exactly how I found you. It was through the TH-cam rabbit hole and... wow. Usually I just end up with memes, and now I just feel like crying, fit to burst with all these complex emotions your music produces within me. I can't wait to see your whole discography, each video. I hope you tour, I will pay you money, even though I have almost none to give being a theater sound artist myself. The arts are a hard life. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Update: I signed up to support you a bit on Patreon. Gladly. It's not much, just a few bucks a month, but I'm glad I can at least contribute a little something of value. I don't comment often, but know I'll be listening intently to your music from this point on. Thank you.
By far my most loved arrangement of all the ones done here at 8 Bit Big Band. That clarinetist is absolutely phenomenal and the arrangement itself is extremely gorgeous. All sections get a great amount of playtime for passages and the swells for driving moments are sublime. I can't love this one enough. Thank you so much for this.
Can we discuss the Raining T-Pose Waluigis.
No just observe how majestic they are.
We can yes. I thought they had excellent form but the team synchronization was off and could use work.
Waluigi should cameo in galaxy 3 (preferably t posing)
hey, SPOILER ALERT! some people these days...
@@shrekthehedgehogofficial did you really think it was possible to not discuss the waluigis
Ah yes, my favorite jazz man, Kenny "Walui" G.
Hahahahah
I hope you realize that this is the piece i was waiting a decade for.
So thanks, pals.
I didn't know I was waiting for it, but I was. This just made me realize it.
Me too. There will never be a game series like Super Mario Galaxy
wait
this game is a decade old!?!
jeez
@@tabbbasco_sauce4545 yeah, i think it was 2006. Not sure tho
November 1 2007, meaning it's 12 years old.
Ah yes, you'd count yourself lucky to see a Waluiteor shower in your lifetime.
Waluyeeteor
only happens once in a million years
@@tabbbasco_sauce4545 less, every googelplex years
I love this comment
Can somebody explain this comment to me I got no idea what y’all are talking about.
This sounds like something I can throw on during Christmas and no one would notice
I hope they would notice! It's so pretty :)
“Settle down now, it’s story time...”

We don't need Galaxy 3. But it would be awesome if we get it.
@@nyoukki facts I'm fine without a galaxy 3 but it would make me so ridiculously happy
Honestly, a new Super Mario Galaxy would be sick, knowing that the next generation would experience this wonderful time themselves
@@j.d.7580 3D all stars has a port of galaxy one, the new generation will indeed experience this.
Well if Super Mario Odyssey 2 takes place in space then its Mario Galaxy 3 lol
As a clarinet player who's first game was Super Mario Galaxy, this is my theme song. Thank you guys!
Yeah clarinet gang! The clarinetist really played well in the style of this too. I guess that's why he's a pro.
Whose
Welp this was the game I found out my first favorite song which was the observatory music and got scarred of the dark Mario's also played the clarinet.
NobodyBestFriend NBF yo same!
I definitely have to learn this song on my clarinet

Wow thats so awesome! The cycle continues thanks for sharing this!!

@@The8BitBigBand Thank you for using for connections to share this kind of magic. It's a great gift.
@@The8BitBigBand If they ever remastered Super Mario Galaxy I'd want them to hire you guys for the music
“The criminally underrated Big Band”
Mark is such a great clarinetist wow. He plays Clarinet like a solo saxophonist
God, the Comet Observatory theme always feels like home to me. After a tough boss fight or those damned purple coin missions (lookin' at you Dreadnaught), this theme really helped ease the nerves as you wandered around the pleasant little hub.
Three years too late, but dear god yes. But for me it was Toy Time Galaxy's purple coins mission that was the bane of my existence. 😡
pov: you’re in a jazz club in 1946. you’re a time traveler. you slip the orchestra some sheet music.
I’m at college working on math homework, but this brought me back to sitting in front of the TV with my Wii at home.
Thank you guys for this. This was one of my favorite video games ever.
Sorry for nitpicking, but the strings aren't mentioned in the credits in the description, you might want to change that :)
@@The8BitBigBand You're welcome :) Congrats on the piece by the way, it's awesome, as usual with you all!
I never got Mario Galaxy on the original Wii because my parents didn't want me playing video games since I was pretty young, but this brings back so many memories of seeing the commercials and my friends play it. Truly a masterpiece.
Hope you got a chance to play it since then! It's really such a great game, but also yes the sound track is a masterpiece
I was able to play it in 3D all stars. Not only is it a great game, but it looks stunning in HD!
Me too I used to be a crush of Rosalina but qi controled it
I’m dancing to this as my wedding waltz later this year. This song evokes so many memories with my fiancé. Thanks for creating this track!
It was a huge pleasure to be apart of this recording session :) thanks Charlie!
You're welcome.
@@xmisteralex🧢🧢🧢
The bass ostinato in the beginning is so smart! It really borrows from Someday My Prince Will Come, the Miles' version, it's such a great callback!
Totally not about the cry with the memories flooding back to me.
I had no clue a clarinet could sound that good
Look up Benny Goodman.
And Martin Fröst while you're at it! When played well, the clarinet is almost incomparable
Usually I am not a fan of the clarinet (because I play it) but this song and others on this channel make me love it
I started crying out of joy when I heard this nostalgic melody. God I remember all the happy memories, how I used to adore the sound track and simply remain on the space station to listen to this masterpiece. It filled me with joy and still does today.

Im sneaking this into my Christmas playlist
Was so glad to be there for the first live performance of this!
Same here! Amazing show!
@@The8BitBigBand I hope this means you plan to go on tour. I would drive a long way to see you, but I can't really get a plane ticket.
Everyone's dancin' until the Waluigis show up. . .Then, they dance _harder._
they *boogie*
They be groovin'
This is so much better than I thought it would be
Holy crap dude
Everything about this is perfect.
Spotted
You might even say it's High-Quality.

this cover is out of this world good!
Mark Dover is really good at dancing up and down a clarinet making it look like it's nothing
omg, the oboe part just made me fly into heaven 😍🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely gorgeous- does a perfect job honoring how flawless the og was while still bringing such a unique take one it- bravo y’all!

Nice „Someday my prince will come“ reference in the intro. Love this piece and your version!
You guys just made one of the most beautiful theme in all of Mario even better
What a magical tune. And Mark is soundin like melted butter 😭
Is that good?
randybob275 it’s smooth and delicious
Mark Dover, incredible clarinetist made this arrangement so special! Amazing!!
Nice homage to the Miles Davis recording of Some Day My Prince Will Come in the beginning. Very nice touch.
My oh my, that clarinet is heavenly! And the string section! Brilliant work, guys!
I have had this in the background for approximately 10 hours, working on a project, and i still want to listen to this. Its beautiful
Something about this arrangement and this song itself just brings shivers up and down my spine and a big, cheerful smile on my face every time I hear it.
We should play his when we land on mars!
like ur idea here
YES
OH BOY WE HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS FOR YOU!
In the holiest of binary
I love the clarinet soooo much! Why are all your covers so good
Fucking HELL this was just beautiful from start to finish. BEAUTIFUL, I honestly had happy shivers the entire time, borderline wanted to cry it was legitimately heavenly.
This is so freaking awesome!! People are so cool when they come together and share their talents.
I hope this band is chosen to compose the Illumination Mario Movie!! Top notch stuff!!!
You guys are a very special group.
Its been a decade since ive listened to one of your songs, and man the wait was worth it
Having worked out of Bunker a lot, I’m honestly impressed you guys managed to finagle a legit big band into that space - it’s not that big a room! Great sounding arrangement and beautiful recording.
Bringing out the brushes like that? You got my heart. Beautifully done. I have no problems with any of this.
Awesome! Love the arrangement and huge respect to the clarinet Solist - wonderful!
I've always felt like this song is similar to "Someday my prince will come".I think this intro confirms that you fee the same way.
Exactly!!! Thanks for noticing!
I recently discovered this group on Amazon Music and ever since then I've been listening to their albums daily during my morning routine at work.
These videos are SO underrated, every aspect of the production is fantastic!
God this is so damn nostalgic for me that I literally began to tear up as soon as the song really kicked into the main theme. Amazing job, just beautiful.
It's always a good day when you guys show up in my notifications!
I absolutely LOVE that clarinet!!! So incredible!
This piece is so beautiful!
And it's still only the second best track on the Galaxy soundtrack.
There are no words to describe how amazing this piece is.
Except for maybe two. Absolutely majestic.
Super Mario Galaxy is one of my favorite games of all time and the exiatance of this makes me very happy
This would make a good christmas themed piece.
Composer is a genius.
the blocked syncopation at 3:24......literally chills every time
This is fantastic! Great job everyone!

Simply amazing!

I just came back from the Jan 27 performance in NYC and this song put a guy in the front row to tears, it was so beautiful!
that's one of my all time favourite video game songs. absolutely gorgeous
Always a pleasure to see an upload from you guys. A masterpiece as usual!
How did I not find this channel earlier?! Why are the views of this video only in the tens of thousands?! And why does it have only 88,000 subscribers?! It deserves way more!
That clarinet solo was amazing! :)
クラリネットのソロが曲の雰囲気に合いすぎて泣いてまう😭
Fantastic arrangement! The clarinet in particular impressed me. I hope you have a good rest of your day
is...is this level of perfection even possible?!
God I had forgotten about this one.
It's so calm and warming.
Reminds me of happier, simpler times.
I love listening to this track off the album! Thanks for another great rendition of a great tune!
Always top-notch arranging and mixing. It's so smoooooth. And the meteor shower of Waluigis was certainly a thing that happened.
I've listened to this dozens of times, but today is my first time noticing the Waluiteor shower.
Beautiful. This was an excellent song which reminded me of my childhood
This is just too AMAZING! I have no words to describe it!
I love this so much. Absolutely stellar arrangement (I'm a sucker for a good jazz waltz) and Mark and the band sound INCREDIBLE. Absolutely beautiful music. Thank you for this!!

Such magic. Thanks as always to Charlie and The 8BBB
idk man, but the nostalgia is strong with this one
I cried the first time I listened to this. It still gets me emotional after all these years
It hurts my soul that this channel does not have more attention!
I have so much respect for whoever does the editing for these videos, you're amazing!
I'm a simple man. I see new 8-bit big band, I smash the like button.
This is without a doubt one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard
I don't know what it is with jazz waltzes that make them feel so magical, but I absolutely love it.
Because Disney movies had a lot of them
This made my morning. Thank you for always putting out quality music. Your arrangements are beautiful!\
this is dope, I find fascinating watching you guys playing those songs
Me encantaría escucharlos en vivo , o que suben sus canciones a Spotify sería un gran regalo , son los mejores soy su fan
This is incredibly smooth and gentle. Chill vibes only.
That clarinet brought a tear to my eyes
now this is going to my christmas playlist
