Hey guys!

Me and my sister played the original Spyro trilogy (mostly 2 and 3) like crazy when I was like 7, and it's been a huge part of my childhood - I've been thinking of covering some stuff from them before, but the songs always felt so floaty and structureless (in a VERY good way) that I didn't really dare to try. I got the reignited trilogy for Christmas and it's been so much fun to play through it again with remastered graphics - I decided it was time to finally jump the gun and attempt a song, so I picked Lofty Castle as it stood out to me while playing through the first game!

The remastered version of the song is cool but I dug Stewart Copeland's version from the 1998 version more so I based my arrangement more around that one. :D

More JoJo next week probably!~


Composed by: Stewart Copeland
Arranged and performed by Billy Qvarnström
