helo
I hope you enjoy this over-the-top arrangement/ cover of Sky Tower. I listened to this game's OST basically nonstop for a whole month last year - having never played the game, I fell in love with the soundtrack. I was blown away by the original version of Sky Tower - it's such a triumphant and energetic song with a very simple, emotional melody. That being said, it really feels like it doesn't take itself too seriously and is still very silly and fun - basically, it hits all the checkboxes to be a certified Kirby anthem. I tried to take that same feeling from the original and went a bit off the rails haha.

Anyways, thanks for being patient - videos and songs like this take a lot of time, effort, and resources to make. Thanks for hanging on and sticking around, I'm so grateful for all of the really kind and encouraging comments that you guys leave on my videos - Thank you. I'm going to keep having fun with music and pixel art, making stuff like this - stick around if you want. Special thanks to the homeboy Sam Harchik - his incredible mix/master and musical wisdom got this arrangement on a level that I wouldn't have imagined to be possible. Please go check out his band Aviations and bother him on his social media accounts.


uhh, I guess, stay healthy and safe. Don't be afraid to help out people who need it. Lots of people really could use some love right now - share some if you can.

See you up in the clouds. Stay cruisin'.
