Pokémon Sun & Moon: Malie City - Jazz Cover || insaneintherainmusic

[@truegreen7]

Yes please! My favorite town theme in Alola!

[@pokedash55]

Truegreen7 Very true. i hang out in this city all the time

[@SPEEDMANGREECE]

truegreen's here.... :-)

[@bramblebear7345]

Mine too, go figure.

[@alexanderschoch172]

I absolutely love that major seventh which is played by this flute thingy .. very nice usage of jazz intervals

[@snapdragon6393]

Ikr, I have Moon, when I'm playing at night, I literally go through the breach just to hear the night theme to this town x')

[@truegreen7]

While I can't think of a pun for the album title, the cover art should definitely be Guzma on the the roof of a house in Po Town, with his shades on, playing the saxophone.

[@billjohns5943]

That would be amazing.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

guzma's too STUPID for saxophone

[@billjohns5943]

Ya boi can't be THAT stupid.

[@sunnydfangirl]

You're right, he IS too stupid for sax... He should be holding a trumpet.

[@eezrag6715]

Dallin Grimm yup

[@ShoopDaWoosh]

You know what's cool? You can take what is very distinctly "game music" and turn it into what could easily pass for some revered jazz artist from the 80s' hit comeback single. Some high quality AAA content, mate.

[@Xgil2Play]

My favourite City theme in Sun and Moon :)

[@randomcomplex6155]

This one and the Seafolk Town.

[@Juniverse0]

I personally think that Hea Hea City (night) is incredibly underrated.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

One of the best :)

[@insaneintherainmusic]

I need good Pokemon Sun and Moon related puns for an album title. LAY YOUR PUNS ON ME, I DARE YOU. (and enjoy the video too!)

[@cezlock8209]

insaneintherainmusic hau the sun shines

[@angeldelacruz3351]

GugulynnPenguin ahaha

[@angeldelacruz3351]

insaneintherainmusic hmm well I can't think of anything

[@rossana4740]

"Jazzclipse: not that Twilight saga crap"

[@TonsOfPax]

Lillie's In The Wind (The album art would be Lillie drawn like Mary Poppins flying away)

[@frankfiol6225]

this channel made me realize that my favorite genre is jazz

[@insaneintherainmusic]

that's the spirit!

[@hrisace]

That Piano at 0:16 was smooth af

[@insaneintherainmusic]

polished 14,000 times with a fine sander

[@nathandravis8582]

insaneintherainmusic How long did THAT take?

[@insaneintherainmusic]

more than 3 days

[@RogersBase]

Welp, this is definitely a new favorite of mine. Great work as usual!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

glad you dig it, man!

[@warcraft3456]

Always funny to see one of your fav Yt's (One Piece

[@Soundole]

The way you make the saxophone sound like an effortless extension of yourself is endlessly inspiring.

[@JoeyStempien]

Looks like insane has formed a relationship with his acoustic guitar.

[@SPEEDMANGREECE]

ikr

[@nathandravis8582]

JSVO To Saxxy for me.

[@resovio5687]

Six years already, i'm trully happy to have found such good artist back then. Thank you.

[@magtea3836]

One of your best

[@Golden_Magikarp]

You should totally do a Konikoni city night theme.

[@necroplastful]

yes! Fuck yes! Day theme though. Its better. The night theme sounds... weird.

[@ajaxk7677]

Sorry, the night theme is the good one if you ask me

[@OmniversalInsect]

@@necroplastful the intro to it is weird, but after its ok, day theme still better tho

[@overthinking8067]

If there's an album coming out, the best way to start is to find the perfect pun.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

That's how I roll ;)

[@garchompelago]

the Japanese theme in this cover is so vibrant that I could almost taste it, its as if I could hear a tenta- oh shit stop!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Stop right there friend... ;)

[@blueskeletonking2701]

This was truly amazing. I felt one with the music as I listened to this.

[@ValiantPixel]

One of my favorite Pokémon songs ever, good choice.

[@somnicrom3120]

AAACK i'm so glad you did Malie city, its one of my favourite tracks from sun and moon

[@terraflyer23]

This is one I keep coming back to, more so than the rest. The melody just works so well with the jazz-sound, along with your fantastic arrangement. A fine example of making a song your own.

[@Gamerdynasty4ever]

This is a good song to start my morning!

[@Mat4yo]

YEEESS! some of the notes in this song are just magical to me. I don't know how they do it. you captured the essence perfectly. and I like the additional notes and riffs you take in different directions from the original. that guitar slide!!! idk how you dance on the piano like that man. I also like the choice to make the borders grey and the particles floral red... everything I'd expect see in a musical representation of Malie!

[@kyhdc]

Mat4yo Lmao love your videos, especially that Zinnia rap.

[@Mat4yo]

thanks yo! got a whole album of pokemon songs including that one for you to check out

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks man! It's that japanese pentatonic scale, man. Glad you appreciated the visual touches on this one, that's exactly what I was going for. With the color grading, I pulled up a picture of Malie City and tried to match the colors best I could :)

[@angeldelacruz3351]

I love this song you made this a bunch better

[@mopwop2271]

I'm just scrolling through all your videos opening whichever songs I want to hear, and listening to them one by one. I have to say, all of them are great!

[@nathanlennox6056]

1:02 - 1:22 is unbelievable. Beautiful work man!

[@marc8427]

This is so great! You’re a fine example of God given talent!

[@LavenderTownWasTaken]

Those chord voicings are breathtaking!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks! I worked on the piano chord voicing quite a bit!

[@amnuth02]

Ik I can come back to this channel to listen to some chill music

[@SeaMager]

I have been waiting for this and I was not disappointed

[@insaneintherainmusic]

[@Turner459O]

Hey there insaneintherain! Just wondering if you still have plans to release a Diamond/Pearl/Platinum album. I remember it being planned for a late 2016 release but I haven't heard anything about it recently. I hope it wasn't cancelled...those covers are some of the best work you've ever done...in an already fantastic catalog! Thanks!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Turner459O Not cancelled, just postponed to make it as good as possible! I can't afford to make a mediocre album for a soundtrack that good! It'll come out in 2017, I promise :)

[@Turner459O]

That's great to hear! I'm super excited to hear the final product...and this illusive Sun/Moon album that you may be teasing too. Thanks again! Have an awesome day!

[@ArcticJaguar725]

Hmmm, although it's not confirmed, there's evidence that DPPt remakes could be released as part of Gen VII. Although it would probably be a good wait away, maybe it would make sense to hold on until they exist? Or maybe not; they are just remakes of an already existent generation after all, although the album would probably receive more attention if it was released around the same time.

[@Noimnotathing]

hes secretly postponing it because when its released, IT WILL BE THE SINNOH REMAKE SOUNDTRACK!!!!! (jk, not confirmed, but hoping)

[@pej.abeats]

insaneintherainmusic lol

[@十六夜凪氷]

I love how jazz and japanese music are blended so well together!

[@FuntimeFazbon]

TWO DISLIKES?! I don't get it. What is wrong with these people. I don't know how they managed to slip their fingers on the dislike button Like, holy moly, just listening to this music gives me goosebumps

[@joaquingarcia4178]

Insanely beautiful, listening to this on a rainy afternoon is the most magical feeling ever

[@spaghetti8316]

I'd also have to agree with you and say that was a didly dang darn impressive piano solo. I can't believe how great this sounds with how few days you put in. Amazing job Carlos.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks man! It sounds pretty.... okay, I guess ;)

[@Lilyvex]

Even tho i dont play pokemon, this is my favorite song that you preformed

[@theduh1011]

Gotta say, this is the first of your pokemon covers where i think the original is undoubtedly my favorite way to listen to it. But thats not through any fault of your own; this is a phenomenal cover as usual, its just that the instrument choice in the original is just too perfect. All that aside, thanks for yet another amazing pokemon jazz cover!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

I think the original is better sometimes! These covers aren't made to replace the originals, of course, they're just my own interpretations. Thank you for listening, man!

[@EscapadeFTW]

First Pokemon games I won't be playing, so I haven't heard the originals, but these covers have all been great. I really like the feel of this piece, and the piano solo is so tasteful. Little bit of lots of great jazz pianists mixed into it.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks for listening to them, man! I appreciate it when people listen to my music when they don't know the source material. I agree about the piano solo, the beginning bits have a slight Hiromi vibe.

[@kaelynleow]

you should do red and blue's theme from sun and moon

[@toptext455]

I can't even say which of your covers are my favorite... All of are just so good.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thank you so much man! I put a lot of effort into each and every one!

[@TheBaconToastie]

Not sure how I've only just come across your channel but let's just say my favourites list has increased quite a bit. Some pretty incredible jazz renditions you've produced.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thank you so much man :) I've got plenty of music on my channel for you to sift through, so feel free to look through a few of the series playlists I've got and see if anything piques your interest!

[@TheBaconToastie]

Must of spent an hour or two doing so yesterday, so impressed by how consistently good and original your pieces are. Even on Google Music too which is a bonus!

[@FlammableLizard]

Ever since you posted that little teaser clip of the piano part, I've been super hyped to see the final version, and man is it wonderful! :D This is definitely one of my favorite songs in Alola, and it's awesome to see you cover it! And it was made in just 3 days? Goodness you are fast!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thank you so much man! Yep, a 3 day song! Making songs that quickly really isn't that sustainable, it really took a lot of effort and I basically did nothing else for any of those days that I was working on the tune.

[@jamesshuler6302]

Your cover of this song always gives me a Thelonious Monk feel.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

I could see that! Maybe if Monk played with some more modern players.

[@Trumpetdude213]

What a cool intro! Just BAM eat your fill of Jazz!

[@ljafrain]

LOVE YOU FOR MAKING THE BEST TOWN THEME EVER EVEN BETTER ❤

[@insaneintherainmusic]

LOVE YOU TOO FOR LISTENING!

[@DesDeLaNet]

I must admit I never saw saxophone as an instrument in this song when I first heard the actual version when I reached Malie City this morning But I actually loved all the parts in this one I feel like a woodwind, no matter which one, ties this arrangement together. The melody really popped out a lot. This was amazing. And how coincidental is it that you uploaded this when I get to Malie City. Talk about luck.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

It'd be even cooler if I had a flute to work with for this tune, that'd make things sound seriously cool. Thanks for listening!

[@chickenmolayme]

lovely~ this is very soothing! I love my jazz and I love Malie~

[@drummr1313]

I love how you keep picking my favorite songs from Sun and Moon to do jazz covers of! Fantastic job, as usual!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

I cherry pick the best songs from the OST :D

[@SandyTag]

Being part of notification squad pays off ;) Once again blew me away with yet another awesome Sun & Moon cover! Great job :)

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Notification squad is the BEST!

[@西木野真姫-o5g]

とても聞き入ります！！

[@GuruMeditationError]

Your piano game is on point! Can't catch this man he's on fire!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Haha, thanks man :)

[@thehumbleebumblee]

Sounds so fun to play

[@kyhdc]

OMFG I WANTED THIS SO BAD THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Liked and favorited! :)

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thank you!!!! :)

[@Alexie]

My favourite city in the game

[@insaneintherainmusic]

glad you like it

[@faruway]

I can listen to this jazz cover of my favorite city in Alola, all day long! Fantastic cover, Insane! :D

[@insaneintherainmusic]

That's the way to do it! Glad you like it :D

[@bffmco]

Wow, I've got to respect the Piano work in this cover. Impressive stuff, as always.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks, man! Glad you liked it, I think it's one of my best piano performances.

[@LegengaryOak]

My favorite song on the SM soundtrack, turned into jazz. I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED.

[@derdusky1651]

Simply amazing! You improved one of the best piece of soundtrack GameFreak ever made, thanks!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks a ton, man! I don't think it's one the absolute best... but I like it :)

[@MARIV0LT]

Wow this cover is as beautiful as all your other covers!! Malie city is one of my favorite cities in Alola so I'm glad you covered it :D Can't wait till next Saturday!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Glad you like it! It's now one of my favorite town themes as well - next Sat's tune will be GREAT!

[@JoblessMusic]

Great job! I love Malie City! The Acoustic and Jazz Guitars were a great touch!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks :)

[@stahrmie]

Killin it once again my dude!!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

ty ty dan dan :^) :^)

[@3P1CG4M3RFTW]

Holy shit yess!! This is my favourite, and I just knew it'd sound amazing covered by you!!!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

so glad you like it :D

[@Zeelzebub327]

Just like the original song, I can't stop listening to this. I would ask for help but it's so effing good (and made in only 3 days too)! And this has probably one of my favorite sax solos from you recently (although valak mountain begs to disagree). Keep up the great work

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks man! I'm pretty happy with the sax solo in here, although I think I like the one from my recent Seafolk Village cover even more.

[@Daniel-qd6qg]

This is so beautiful, oh my goodness.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thank you so much for listening :D

[@Alouette_EXE]

Alright!! Its here!! I never thought it would sound good like this. Thanks a lot!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Hey, glad you like it, man! Thanks for listening to this :)

[@nintenzo98]

This is the best Birthday present! Thank you so much for your hard work, and amazing cover as always!!!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Happy birthday, dude! You're very welcome, so glad you're enjoying!

[@nupinoop296]

Yes!!! I was hoping you'd do this one!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

carlos always delivers!

[@sanityismadness]

I liked the saxophone solo about 2/3rds of the way through; you were trying some different stuff there. Beautiful interpretation as usual!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks man! I was definitely trying a few different things, especially with the percussion backing.

[@ellipsis530]

Outstanding 3/4 rhythm changes in this one!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

which part are you referring to?

[@ellipsis530]

The section at about 1:03 that repeats continuously as the outro. As soon as it hit the first time, I immediately linked this to my bandmates. It's too tasty

[@Sarielkaisel]

Oh I was so hoping you'd do a cover of this amazing song and you didn't disappoint. Awesome work with this great song

[@insaneintherainmusic]

glad you like it :D

[@MohamedAshraf-fw1dc]

Never stop dude, this effort is worth it

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks Mohamed! I'm gonna keep making videos :)

[@fruitloop44]

When awesome turns into even more awesome

[@SleepySeal121]

Yet another fantastic cover! Your channel is so underrated, you deserve WAY more subs. Keep up the incredible work!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks so much for watching man, best thing you can do to help me with that is tell your friends and share my music :)

[@MacoDX]

It's always a pleasure listening to your work, Carlos. 10/10 cover. I'll most definitely be buying the album that you may or may not be working on.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks so much man! That album will come soon :)

[@Kyubi095]

Love this arrangement so much X) Definitely one of my favs from your Sun and Moon Covers (alongside Vast Poni Canyon and Guzma´s theme) Printing out all the sheets for your SuMo arrangements tomorrow! Can´t wait to learn 'em on trumpet, woo!!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks so much! Have fun learning the tunes, I put sheet music in the description specifically for moments like these :)

[@lucat17lula]

Was waiting for this!! Amazing as always! I always thought this theme had a fe fates vibe to it

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Definitely! FE fates has a lot of japanese vibes with the music, and that lines up with this theme quite well.

[@Minamitoku]

Really love where you went with this one. I didn't know it was possible to make a jazz cover of a japanese style track. Well done!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

It's possible to make a jazz cover out of anything, but the arranging process can become a bit more difficult depending on the style of the source material.

[@Minamitoku]

Well, that's true. let me correct my comment from above then: I didn't know it was possible to make such an amazing jazz cover. And it only took you 3 days! That is insane! Well, I guess that's where your name comes from :-) I can't say it enough but: I really, really appreciate your great work.

[@b2j135]

I really love how you covered both version in this remix...I'm so glad I subbed last year :)

[@insaneintherainmusic]

I took a few elements from both, I guess!

[@snasxiv]

Another awesome sounding song! Loving the Sun and Moon covers, really hope you do Seafolk Village, but either way amazing work!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Seafolk Village is my plan for next Saturday's video!!!

[@Daniel-qd6qg]

Kinda hoping for Team Skull. Then again, this channel has a knack for making me realize what I want before I know I want it.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Maybe! I'm working on a version of Guzma's battle theme right now, which I personally like more than the team skull one!

[@Daniel-qd6qg]

insaneintherainmusic I'm praying for vocals for the "yo" in the background!

[@bensupermario]

Each and every new cover you put up is just as amazing as the last! Your skills are too good!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thank you so so much :)

[@bensupermario]

np man, thank you for the content!

[@rinbobethir6425]

Very nice! I love it! Also, as a request: The music used in the short sizzle reel they showed close to the end of the Switch presentation recently. I'd really love to see/hear a clean cover of that!

[@Kris-ds6wj]

Could you do Konikoni City Day sometime? It's my favourite Sun and Moon City Theme. Also, Really nice cover! I really liked it! Way better than the original!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

maybe! i'll have to listen to that one in the ost again, but I'll consider it :)

[@katatsukiko]

this is one of your favorite covers that i always find myself going back to listen to...somehow reminds me a bit of steely dan's music (which i love) :)

[@adrianmak2386]

Sometimes I wonder how you dish out such great content every week.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

I wonder that too. It's a lot of hard work, but I enjoy it :)

[@dylanbargh8067]

I LUV IT SOOO MUCH

[@mr.jorgee5144]

loved it!!

[@locomotive121]

Oh my God you did it. I think this was my favorite city in the game. (Plus it's where you could catch Araquanid!)

[@insaneintherainmusic]

You can get Araquanid earlier in the game! I got mine in one of the lakes before the totem in Lana's trial.

[@locomotive121]

Right, yeah; you catch its pre-evo Dewpider at Brooklet Hill in the daytime. In any case Araquanid is awesome (just like this cover).

[@insaneintherainmusic]

oh, I mixed up dewpider and araquanid, my bad

[@jaminkidd6285]

Love it!!

[@TheGreenAssassinFTW]

Great stuff as always!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks dude :D

[@glittaboy]

I get so hyped whenever I see you in my subbox! I hope you consider my request from your last cover! Anyway, keep it up :D

[@MrsGeeCat]

I LOVE this theme, and I always hear the night theme as I play Pokemon moon and I find it so beautiful! One of my personal favourite pokepuns/jokes that I'm rather proud of is actually music related... What's the enharmonic of C? Bisharp. It's funnier in person I promise Anyway, fantastic cover as always :)

[@insaneintherainmusic]

that was a REALLY GOOD PUN! I told some of my musically inclined friends and they really dug it. well done. my seal of approval.

[@MrsGeeCat]

insaneintherainmusic glad ya liked it haha

[@haekoth]

The piano in this one is spot on! I'm amazed by how well you can play a multitude of instruments. Maybe it's time to go for another one? (*cough* trumpet *cough*). Anyway, awesome job!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Glad you like it! A new instrument soon? Maybe.

[@haekoth]

Cool! :D

[@16Pains]

still amazing as always

[@insaneintherainmusic]

thanks

[@xorlrowel8005]

Very good jazz job!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Jazz thanks you very much!

[@aayushmohan3069]

THAT ACOUSTIC GUITAR THO

[@mighty.y8334]

will you ever do bravely default music?

[@insaneintherainmusic]

I've thought about it - I'd probably want to play the game first.

[@mighty.y8334]

insaneintherainmusic the game has really great music you wont regret it at all.

[@Arathrum]

The piano solo reminded me of Acoustic Alchemy for some reason. They're my fav band and you're my fav KZbinr so I guess it makes sense ;)

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Never heard of Acoustic Alchemy..!

[@Arathrum]

:o.. !

[@LouisR56]

Yaay, great cover! :D

[@ianloree2784]

What a neat take on this amazing song! (And is there a chance for Heahea City in the future?...)

[@insaneintherainmusic]

maybe...!

[@rexduodecim3528]

Oh my god this so good!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks for listening, dude :)
