Spyro the Dragon Soundtrack - Lofty Castle

[@murphster737]

This is the jewel in the crown of the spyro soundtrack, and legitimately one of the greatest pieces of music I've ever heard.

[@danielchavez4403]

Remember Fairies are always on your side SPYRO. 💜💛💜💛🧚‍♀️🧚

[@lorenzodalbello284]

Spent fucking days to find that long jump

[@rickyxcx2343]

This song is probably the best of Dream Weavers. It feels so magical, fits perfectly with the level👌🏻

[@lemmykoopa1379]

Yeah aside from the homeworld theme, but that’s also pretty hard because Dream Weavers has some of the best music in the game, including Stewart Copeland’s personal Favorite, Jacques

[@corey-bird3489]

@@lemmykoopa1379 Oooh now that’s a fun fact! I hope he would have a day in going all out including that in a Spyro movie if Mario helps any other game’s chances.

[@lemmykoopa1379]

@@corey-bird3489 yeah Copeland included Jacques in a playlist of his

[@corey-bird3489]

@@lemmykoopa1379 I didn’t initially know he was the drummer of The Police nor that he did the music for Good Burger, I love his laid back bouncy style. I used to think this music sounded like Barenaked Ladies. He picked a wise favorite! This and Dark Hollow are my favorite Spyro songs. I would pray he’d compose a full length animated film! Off topic but it’s like how I wish for a Crash Bandicoot movie with Crash by Aerosmith playing at the jungle boulder chase.

[@MB-fr5hf]

This song reminds me of loving fantasy stories and movies when i was little. It’ll always have that magical yet serene vibe.

[@hxbrid.sxldier]

You know when it's rainy in one part of the sky and then the clouds open up just a peep and the sun shines out creating a rainbow in the moody part of the sky? Yeah. That's this song.

[@AndrewJGaming]

All of the dream weavers realms are like nightmares except this one. This one is like those dreams you sometimes have where you wake up and you're like "WTAF was just in my brainspace?"

[@finstrike7]

Dreamy but full of adventure, like watchin' a good Saturday Mornin' cartoon again. Also this song also sounds it could be in a cool, 1980s fantasy film: live-action or animated.

[@stumpwizard6226]

Totally agree. It always reminded me of the movie labyrinth . Same vibe imo 😂

[@dedxdx1100]

Yeah

[@ZahnwehZombie]

I remember playing the old PS1 Spyro, and when this level came up, I would just leave the game on and just listen to it play. Coming back to this after so many years, I vividly remember just how much my younger self loved this song and I can't help agreeing with the sentiment.

[@FroggyMosh]

Oh YEAH! I did that too! I remember falling asleep to this playing softly. Started just listening to other games too, like Crash Bandicoot and Soul Blade (aka Soul Edge to you US heathens :P )

[@videogameman110]

In all of the original spyro games, this to me has to be the best soundtrack. I have no explanation, it just sounds so amazing. Time to put this on repeat and hope it's good in the Reignited Trilogy

[@VeronicaValentine2236]

I can just hear the seals & the guy screaming as he’s falling when you pop his balloon. This place is so magical.

[@kura-pika]

Still one of my favourite game soundtracks ever. I'm sure I've commented this on every video of this song lol. used to come to this level just to hear the music ahhh good times.

[@Atezian]

the bass line and the bass tone!

[@mundancheemudomo8210]

The bass in the soundtrack in general is gold in this game

[@sociosanch3748]

I think k that's what planted the seed the sprout my interest in bass guitars

[@alessiaventurini6236]

This is my favourite from Spyro's soundtrack :) And my favourite videogame! :D

[@honda6353]

I spent my teen years remembering this song and the imagine of pink clouds, recently found this song, fuck I wish I was 5 again.

[@LookingTheBest]

Alessia Venturini The best Music and Best Game ever. I ❤ Insomniac and Copeland

[@stopthrm]

This song is mysterious, magical, dreamlike, and very sad all at once. Its got a very strange chord progression but I'm pretty sure its one of the best video game songs that I've ever heard.

[@scorpion67890]

This is the quitessential Dream Weavers world to me: the whole package of the music, the fairies, and the gnorcs floating with the balloons... It somehow matches the tone of the homeworld (and Jacques as well) better than Dark Cavern or Haunted Towers IMO.
