Takes me back when I was in first grade, coming home from those hot august days, just to sit in front of the box fan we had in our living room. All while hanging out with my parents. God how I wish I could go back… 😔
I remember playing the 64 version a little bit growing up and what stuck with me most from that game was the soundtrack. It's ridiculously good. Imagine my surprise when I found this soundtrack and realized two crazy things at the same time: They made a sequel for this game??? And the soundtrack is even better than the original while also keeping the same calming feel as its predecessor!?!?… This song is amazingly good. I really enjoy that they used a fretless bass for this (I think it's a synth patch, but still very nice sound), its warm sound is really fitting.
Vividly remember sitting in bed later then I should be awake on a school night must’ve been 3rd grade, and just playing through this game I remember not being good at it. But I still cherish those memories anyways where the only thing I had to worry about was homework.
Coincidentally or not (probably not), it has elements from well-known songs, such as 'Kiss from a rose'. It'd explain why some people seem to think this is familiar despite never having heard it before.
