Paint Drying 2016

Once again, I'm bored, I'm in a Sonic mood. Let's get back to some songs!

His World: I love this song because it's one of those that describe Sonic so perfectly! I couldn't ask for a better theme for such a terrible game! Though I am still shocked at the fact that this is one of the lyrics: "Kickin @$$ fast, putting on a show!" How'd they get away with that?

Dreams of an Absolution: Another banger from 06 of all games! Now I do like the original version fine, but the Jun Senue remix is what makes it 10× better in my opinion! The original was nice, but the faster, upbeat version just sounds more uplifting and catchy! Plus, who could say no to the guitarist from Crush 40 himself? His remix is one of my all-time favorites!

Endless Possibilities: The perfect ending song to any Sonic game! I think One Way Dream from Frontiers is a close second now, but this one still takes the cake! And please listen to the live version performed by Natewantstobattle in front of an orchestra! It's the best version of this song!

Reach for the Stars and Fist Bump: Catchy and upbeat! Next!

Infinite: I've already mentioned this before, but I can't stress how awesome this song is for a wasted character! It's one of the edgiest songs in the franchise, yet it fits perfectly for Infinite. It's almost has a Linkin Park vibe to it, and I unironically love it!

Sonic and the Black Knight vocal themes: Say what you will about this game (I like it in spite of its flaws), but the soundtrack is one of the best in the series, which is saying a lot! Knight of the Wind is the perfect main theme, Fight the Knight gets you pumped to do exactly that, complete with a Terminator-esque rhythm that is played frequently whenever you hear, "MY WILL TO FIGHT THE KNIGHT!!!" With Me is one of the best Boss Battle Themes of all time, both the original and Crush 40 versions! And Live Life is the most beautiful song that Crush 40 ever did, tying into the themes about living life to the fullest.
