[@insaneintherainmusic]

I'M ON A PLANE RIGHT NOW BUT STILL RELEASING THIS VIDEO WITH THE POWER OF KZbin SCHEDULING! Bonus points to whoever finds the other Sonic tune I hid in this arrangement somewhere... listen carefully :)

@@cameronwatman9438 YO I was like "this is totally Christmas in LA"

[@VegasA3]

Got some parts that remind me of Animal Spirits.

[@bobthetitan1]

I guess this Carlos’ Animal Spirit is the hedgehog

[@theGameBrass]

this is the most Jackson 5 sounding Sonic tune I've ever heard, and that's saying a lot.

[@TheSwordSmasher]

I just realized how White Shirt Carlos looks so fed up during this. His face says "I'm only doing this cause I'm a good friend, Black Shirt Carlos."

[@insaneintherainmusic]

We're mortal enemies but also best friends

[@sunnydfangirl]

I cannot believe it's taken me this long to get into Vulf, but now that I have, I've come full circle and realized that this is so definitely Animal Spirits and I love it more than words can express

[@CG5]

Amen to this dope cover, but who's your twin brother there?

[@lujakunk930]

CG5 That's Carlos Eiene! I can't understand why he isn't in more videos

Do more Sonic please...Sonic has some really amazing music.

+Knight Warrior you got it!

[@ireneflower]

Yes, please do!

[@TheGag96]

I would almost say any of Rouge's themes in SA2 would be some prime candidates since they're already fusion jazz. Would be interesting to see you cover those!

[@merc5333]

Knight Warrior YES!!!!😍

[@KnightsDisillusion]

insaneintherainmusic Thanks sexy.

[@rjramgaming9816]

I'm getting some extreme "Animal Spirits" by Vulfpeck vibes here; I dig it. Keep up the great work!

[@Bassoonify]

Sonic is my animal spirit. Not because he is fast, but for his heart-felt lyrics.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Sonic is actually the zodiac animal for the 13th month!

[@Bassoonify]

[@DSmad1]

Was this a wulfpeck reference?

[@Erinnmnn]

It's a song everyone knows

[@mrnugget2193]

xD i _CRINGED_ so hard after i saw ur comment of sonic as ur spirit animal hope u see the sonic trailer xD

[@toby4516]

You forgot to credit Carlos Eiene. Shame, seeing how rarely he's in your videos.

[@Abominog64]

Dang man, you made the most cliche Sonic theme into one of the best things I've heard for awhile

[@insaneintherainmusic]

that was the intent here :)

[@MusicStuffSome]

Is got a bit of "ABC" by the Jackson five going on in it that's what I'm hearing haha, good stuff :)

[@wellingtonbruh3756]

MusicStuffSome I know right XD

[@insaneintherainmusic]

+MusicStuffSome a little bit haha! Can't go wrong with some Jackson five :)

[@giocko]

I was thinking more "I want you back", but I can also see "ABC" now that you mentioned it!

[@1laika]

DANG IT! Someone already said this comment ;_; Well, great minds think alike.

[@tomasadam3]

VideoGamesG33k I THOUGHT THAT TOO

[@notfabio9858]

This was my first exposure to vulfpeck before I even knew it lol. I remember the first time I heard animal spirits, I kept thinking “why does this sound so familiar” almost like I could predict the song. Definitely an amazing song to take cues from

[@Bassoonify]

This is definitely going to be one of my new personal favorites of yours. Nick killed it on his solos and I'm impressed with however you masked it so your fingers overlapped each other on the piano. This is one that I am going to definitely smash that replay button on.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

+Bassoonify I'm honestly so surprised at how the masking worked out with this one! It was sort of a pain in the ass to edit but it was worth it :)

[@dapunster123]

Thanks man !!

[@pfisste]

insaneintherainmusic you guys could make some sick pilotwings 64 music together.

[@evandempsey7613]

I already commented on this song when it came out, but I just came back to it after not hearing it for a long time, and I have to say this song gets better with every listen. It's just a feel-good tune in the purest way possible. Keep doing what you're doing Carlos, you've found a niche that really works. Also somebody should quarantine the synth bend at 4:04, because it is SICK.

[@evandempsey7613]

That pun seems a lot cheesier now than when I wrote it....

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks man! I agree, video game jazz is an awesome thing, and I'm so happy that I can share it with many people :)

[@TheGreenAssassinFTW]

You playing piano with yourself is amazing, haha. Also, I really like the filter. It's a good way to add a little variety while still using the good ol' video editing style.

[@kwhan6546]

no that's Carlos Eiene on the right and insaneintherain is on the left.

[@JH-jl7cq]

This is getting out of hand, now there are TWO of them!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

glad you liked it!

[@f1att0panimations]

How does that work!?!? Is he a twin!?!?!

[@NathanLuMax]

I am stumped as well

[@hungry2927]

That was some skillful pitch bending

[@insaneintherainmusic]

+Hun Gry Nick is excellent!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

no, but i linked his instagram in the video description :)

[@kennetonsonic]

Such mastery of the synth. This is one of my favorites.

[@snowowl4506]

Gotta say, you released this song quite... fast.

[@quadgames1334]

Snow Owl or maybe... you're just... too slow I've no will to live anymore

[@Greenz_Beanz]

That last minute of the song is everything. Every time I hear it, it's like hearing it for the first time.

[@JTriggerVideos]

I love how different it is from the original. You really made this into your own thing. I can't stop listening to it.

[@sengroagers1111]

Loved the piano duet you did with Carlos! You should collab with Carlos more often, Carlos

[@johnnymitchellcollier]

this feels like something that would play during the end credits

awesome arrangement as always dood more Sonic! ^ ^

If you enjoyed this, look up Vulfpeck! They are a very feel good band, and this arrangement was heavily inspired by the song Animal Spirits by them! Also, happy birthday!

[@Bardguy5623]

At 1:00, that little break down that comes back throughout the song is so catchy, it's so perfect, I love it so much, you are a genius, my friend.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

he's gonna me my college roommate next year so you will!

[@instinctivelyspontaneous4900]

One thing that I love about all of your renditions is that you don't just play the main tune over and over. The improvisation is what makes them enjoyable. And they are also recognizable tunes with a little your own flavor. I look forward to more.

[@fabianbenavides2663]

Jesus Christ, you guys are fucking talented, your the best video games music remixers I have ever heard.

[@mcphersonsound]

I hope you cover more Genesis/MegaDrive Sonic tunes. They were some of my first favorite games, and I may have got in trouble as a child spending too much time in the Sonic 2 sound test.

[@mcphersonsound]

Oh and thank you for the wonderful arrangement.

Who's this Carlos Eiene guy everyone's commenting about?

[@Volcanic_Rave]

Dre Parker Carlos Eiene is Insaneintherain's real name, a few videos ago he had two of him in the same shot and put ft Carlos Eiene in the title

This video makes me so happy, especially seeing how some of the moments you guys actually smiled as well.

[@crewdogz356af5]

Wow, my man, that keyboard solo at the end brought a tear to my eye. You DID SONIC JUSTICE with that piece. I felt the soul in that for reals. You guys keep up the good work. Don't ever think nobody's out there listening to y'all music, because we definitely are!

[@numanuma3233]

Dear Carlos, I started being a fan back when I started my obsession with Undertale, as well as a love of jazz. When I found your videos, I realized how much time people put into music. You've made me look at the music genre in a whole new way. In short, thank you. You've changed me as a person.

[@johnmeyering6453]

Welcome to the Green Chill Zone

[@trentons2000]

Dude that SR500 was smooth af, best jazz bass guitar I've ever heard

[@insaneintherainmusic]

it's a very versatile bass, I've found! I put some flatwounds on it and put a mute on it, and the tone is reallly reallly nice and deep :)

[@alexmoore2548]

So vulfpeck

[@insaneintherainmusic]

+Alex Moore didn't even use the vulf compressor

[@alexmoore2548]

[@evanneff7776]

Used the Animal Spirits piano riff pretty shamelessly though.

[@ProjectGenesisMusic]

This is becoming the year where everyone starts leaving the safety net of first party nintendo soundtracks and that makes me happy! Not that I don't also enjoy said soundtracks because they are great, but there are literally hundreds of other and even better soundtracks to explore out there. So awesome man and Nick dominates as well!

[@HugoJunstrand]

This is honest to god my favourite arrangement of yours so far. It sounds unlike any other work I've heard of this theme before as well to what I'm used hearing from your jazz covers by focusing more on bass and synth to give this theme a more "80's" feel

[@insaneintherainmusic]
