All Star - Epic Orchestral Cover [ Kāru ]

All Star by Smash Mouth was the very first true Misairu's Orchestral Forces cover way back in September of 2016. This song had a deep impact on myself, and I was saddened by the sudden passing of Smash Mouth's former lead singer Steve Harwell. Years after my first iteration of All Star, I arranged this orchestral composition in tribute of Steve. Rest easy, you will always be an All Star in our hearts.

🎼 What is Misairu's Orchestral Forces? 🎼
Misairu's Orchestral Forces is a virtual band/orchestra. They are divided into instrument regiments commanded by sixteen fictional characters. They all answer to Misairu, and Raiko, both of whom don't exactly get along with each other too well. Despite this, they do their best to work together (to some extent) in order to bring you these defiantly epic orchestrations and symphonic operations.

A beautiful tribute to Steve. Thank you for everything. You’ll always be our shooting star. Our *All Star.*

[@aliyahpulido953]

I can imagine the entire animated character cast of Shrek, good and evil, joining hands around Steve, bringing him flowers and tokens of gratitude. As this song plays, they send him off with one last salute and a teary-eyed goodbye. You'll always be our All-Star, Steve Harwell. Rest in peace.

[@shelbynorthcutt6811]

Oh you son of a gun, this made me cry, & I love the idea. Someone needs to animate this amazing idea.

[@midnamidnightwhisper7529]

Not even a joke - thats just beautiful - this man created memories some people won't ever forget and he deserves nothing less than a send off like this.

What a smashing tribute to Steve, Kāru. Well done.

I hope he is up there smiling as this requiem is played in his honour

[@KnightsofGaming2016]

Can't believe we lost him a few days ago. His music shall forever live on in meme culture. Rest in Peace, Steve Harwell. You were and will always be an all star and are now among the stars. Edit: Finally got back home to listen to this and even though it isn't raining where I live, it's raining in my room right now. You not only did Steve Harwell justice, but also did one of my childhood songs justice. Thank you so much for your work, Karu. My heart is filled with joy, nostalgia and sorrow hearing this piece from you and your crew.

[@ZakoZeWacko]

Steve was an absolute internet legend. a true all star. rest in peace, Steave

[@allisonekgasit9291]

You managed to turn an upbeat meme song into a somber and epic farewell to the legend himself. Great work. You're an all star.

This Is The Most Beautiful Tribute and I feel Nostalgia To this Music 🥲 Thank You Steve For Giving Us The Best Movie And The Music for Shrek we'll always be with you 🥲🫡❤🙏

[@jpb9356]

Thank you for sharing your talent with the world Kāru and paying tribute to a song that's brought joy to so many.

[@cady4177]

And he made one of the greatest meme of all time 🫡🫡

[@Lightning-ig2do]

If Shrek 5 happens, I would be overjoyed if this played at the end of the movie 🥲

[@star3catcherSEQUEL]

You know, memes aside, it actually is quite a nice song when I really think about. It's about staying confident and liking yourself even when society around you considers you a loser, and staying optimistic and still having fun even when life kind of blows. That it's okay to be weird and different, because "only shooting stars break the mold." It's easy to see why they chose it for Shrek, but I also think it's endured as a song because we can all relate to it, especially with the current state of the world. Even when life gets hard, you can still choose to be an All Star and see glittering gold where ever you look.

[@lucasruv]

This is very beautiful 🧃

[@minemanfan409]

Agreed, this is very pleasant to listen to

[@enniewilde8645]

I agree, but what's with the grape juice box?

[@norahsnewgroove]

as a huge smash mouth fan i have a weird relationship with this song. i find it overshadows a lot of their great music that isn't shrek-adjacent. but it's 100% iconic, and this cover is lovely. great tribute.

[@enzoherrera7330]

R.I.P Steve, you left a mark on the internet, internet will always remember about you.

[@GunzIsWearier]

May he rest in peace... He made one of the most beloved songs ever. And now this cover will be enjoyed, and we can remember Steve Harwell. And All Star. Thank you for making this. Awesome work as always, I listen to your music all the time it really is great!

Anyone else suddenly getting dust in their eyes while listening to this?

No, but my eyes started sweating a lot for some reason.

THIS IS A MASTER PIECE AS ALLWAYS

[@frivolousphilosophies6930]

I found this orchestra the other day, and now I’m in love. This piece adaptation sounds so good, the dynamics and articulation sound amazing with the piano, violin and low brass. The drums in the middle absolutely slap. Great work guys.

[@toshio1334]

I feel like this captures the same mesmerizing magic we heard as kids when we heard this in Shrek for the first time.

[@omegaterminal]

This song is special to me. For someone who camped with scouts for a while. During an fall camping trip called the feast trip me and a couple of scouts sat around the campfire singing songs..We always played All stars..I always loved this song. Steve Harwell..Rest well

Only shooting stars break the mold... He did that and then some. A legend who sung a song about the outcasts of the world, which became most popular with a funny and familiar green ogre. One thing the song always tells us: The years start coming... And they don't stop coming. R.I.P. Steve Harwell.
