This track was made for the album Speeding Towards Adventures: 25 Years of Sonic the Hedgehog (http://sonic25.ocremix.org) and remixes the all time classic Green Hill Zone.

Since Green Hill Zone has been remixed a gazillion times already, it was hard to to try to add something new to it. Inspired by Pharrell William's song "Happy" I thought a upbeat vocal pop track in that style might just work. The initial midi mockup was finished quickly, but for this kind of track midi ain't good enough. So I went on a recruiting spree on the OCR forums, starting with the vocals. I luckily found Final Kingdom willing to sing on the track, and she also was a tremendous help in the lyrics. It was also a good excuse to team up again with my regular collaborators Tuberz McGee on guitars and Furilas on bass. Last but not least is Azzykay316, who offered his services as a drummer on the forums and really made the track groove and the drum solo rock.

Many thanks to my temp band mates that were so cool to hop on this adventure with me and really make the track shine. I hope we managed to give a fresh take on Green Hill Zone and that you'll enjoy it a lot!

Lyrics:

Running towards the green hills
We're speeding towards adventure
The breeze fills us with excitement
To release our friends, we'll keep fighting

Faster than you ever knew
We're racing once more to save you
Eggman, you'll be defeated
Together we'll fight for freedom

And when we
Reach for the sky
We won't give up
We'll bring you the fight

Spinning and looping faster
We'll save this world from disaster
Crabmeats, Buzz Bombers begone
Time's ticking, let's get a move on

There's danger at every turn
Ground rumbling beneath our feet
Eggman, watch out, we'll get you
With Sonic taking the lead

[x3]
Sonic, help us
Turn the chaos away
Sonic, save us
From another dark, dark day

Dashing across the green hills
Our journey is just beginning
Spin jumping on the badniks
Countering Eggman's tactics

Faster than the speed of sound
We've got no more time to lose now
Eggman, the end is nearing
The animals will be set free

And when we
Reach for the sky
We won't give up
We'll bring you the fight

And when we
Reach for the sky
Don't give it up
We'll make this world shine
