This song sounds like the feeling of eating three peppermint candies and drinking a glass of water right afterwards. Absolutely frozen. Really, really chill.
@Musical4thWall It will never be worse than eating an eucalyptus bubblegum and then drinking water. Probably one of the worst things I experienced in my life.
I recently unsubbed from hundreds of accounts with only 9 remaining because I was spending too much time on the internet, and The Noble Demon is one of the few left. I don't know how you do it, but it's amazing new songs every few days with professional top-notch quality every time. The Earthbound/Mother songs in particular are my favorite since I love that series. The ideal world I imagine in my head is one where people like you are free to make music all day without worrying about money for necessities, and where people could spend their paychecks on commissions or Patreon instead of boring things.
Not too hard , not too slow , not too boring , just perfect. This is for what SEGA sound team are famous for and you guys arranged it perfectly as always. This channel is graved in my heart. ❤
When I was in middle school, a classmate lended me his cartridge of Sonic 3. When this came on, I got a tape recorder and placed the mic in front of the TV speakers so I could keep this music after I'd have to return the game. It's probably one of the handful of tracks that made me realize I wanted to make music. You captured the feeling of the original (and its previously unreleased "originaler" Hard Times form) just right, with your own signature colour.
Part of me was afraid this was gonna be a cover of the replacement song we got in Sonic Origins. The other part of me is relieved and profusely grateful that it isn't. 😂
That song was the original used in the Sonic 3 prototype, before bringing MJ and Brad onto the sound team. It was still used in the PC version of the game
(OBLIGATORY HARD TIMES JOKE) Edit: Finished listening and DAMN what a good cover! Ice cap zone is one of my favorites from the classic era, so it brings a smile to my face hearing it as one of your arrangements! Well done!!!
Perfect timing as I just got back from watching the Sonic 3 movie. ok, different product, but I did see the first two Sonic movies the night before, and the second one had an Ice Cap reference.
This is the music that plays every time I open my fridge and gaze upon the ice compartment. The two rats who reside there have long since evolved to master the survival skills of a tundra biome. They demand tribute for access to the cold, tasty treasures. Speaking only in cryptic riddles, they have yet to reveal the ancient secrets of their ways, but I respect their guarded wisdom. For 45 long years, they have made that icy chamber their domain. Every time I open the door, there they are-diligently toiling, their insatiable curiosity for ice as strong as ever. Today, I managed to gather a few ice cubes before closing the door. Their squeaks sounded content. I think they were pleased.

I feel like it would slowly get more chaotic if that were the case, as eating anything peppermint and then drinking water is torture

I see how that cool be worse. I'll make sure never to do that
Thanks for making my teeth hurt st the same time as giving me a migraine
This season can be a great break from the Hard Times in our lives…
Heh. Hope everyone has a Happy Holidays!
Task failed successfully; the ice zone remix is fire instead.

Hopefully, Christmas won’t have any hard times.
Ha! I get it

What a Christmas present!
Evelyn I think you read my mind cuz just a pair of weeks ago I was totally obsessed over this song and searched if you had a cover of this
That is a nice name :)
HELL YES!! This is amazing!!!
Not too hard , not too slow , not too boring , just perfect.

I don't know why but this song always had something nostalgic. I love your remix so much 🖤

Yes!!! This is one of my favorite Sonic tracks, and you’ve absolutely nailed it!

@roland_the_cursor Tbh I never liked that version. Part of it sounded too similar to Marble Garden to me, too.
This remake goes hard
Amazing work as always! Happy Holidays
Merry Christmas to all this 2024! Keep up the amazing renditions Noble!
This was truly a beautiful piece. Possibly the best rendition of Ice Cap zone to date. Amazing work as always, Noble Demon.
This Christmas has been pretty rough but this remix has eased the Hard Times.
This tune has always gotten me through hard times.
For me this music will always remind me of "The Legend of Sanic: Ocarina of Fast".
Absolutely Banger!
Happy holidays Evelyn 🥳🥳

One of my favorite soundtracks ever and you surely did it justice!

This is REAL christmas music
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year everyone.
Nice job with this one. It has a unique sound that I can't describe.
What an awesome song, and your cover is great!
This is such a cool vibe.
I freaking love Ice Cap Zone!
So nice to finally hear a Ice Cap cover from you, great work with this one Noble!
Merry Christmas Ms.Evelyn! Thank you for all of the awesome music over the years! And a happy New Years
That whistle is such a nice detail!
Absolute classic. Awesome arrangement!
Yep, I feel at peace listening to this.
Cool work as always.
clearly took some inspirations from the hard times. version, and i love it 8D

Sonic 3 Winter level. Absolute inspired
Yet another icy banger!
Happy Holidays!
My favorite Sonic 3 ost let's gooo!!!!!
how many layers deep in the snow do you think we can go before Bruce Connole and Brad Buxer decide to intervene?
Amazing. As usual.
Because you know you want to sing along!

If I could have all the women in the world
I would take this time to leave
The pressure's on and I'm not some kind of strong man
So take this thing from me
Don't give it a second thought
I can see you've got better things to do
So just take your things and leave
Hard times (Happiest days of my life)
Hard times gone by
Hard times (Happiest days of my life)
Hard times gone by
Late at night with the darkness here around me
I'm drinking all alone
Nothing here but my medicine to guide me
Since I've been on my own
Well, have you forgotten now?
Memories that continue to amaze me
Are all but over now
Hard times (Happiest days of my life)
Hard times gone by
Hard times (Happiest days of my life)
Hard times gone by
Hard times (Happiest days of my life)
Hard times gone by
Hard times (Happiest days of my life)
Hard times gone by
Hard times (Happiest days of my life)
Hard times gone by
Hard times (Happiest days of my life)
Hard times gone by
Hard times (Happiest days of my life)
Hard times gone by
Hard times (Happiest days of my life)
Hard times gone by
Hard times (Happiest days of my life)
Hard times gone by
Hard times (Happiest days of my life)

Supposedly this is one of the songs that was actually an MJ song?
Brad Buxer actually. It was a cover of the then-unreleased song "Hard Times" by the Jetzons (Brad's old band before joining MJ).
🎶Ice Cap wif spwinkles 🎶
Ah yes, my favorite song by The Jetzons - Hard Times.
Vaporware was a good touch
Im hoping we can get a Heatfreeze island remix
Hydrocity has to be next
A UA-camr uses this song for as an intro or outro or within his videos always I CANT REMEMBER WHO IT WAS 😭😭😭😭
Hmm, a pretty standard NobleDemon mix, this one's alright, not too impresse-
0:28
👁👄👁
"i regret everything. i regret everything i've ever done."
La leyenda cuenta que el mismisimo Michael Jackson fue quien compuso este tema junto a muchos otros temas de Sonic 3
I was hoping you'd mix the two different versions of the song into one, but I don't hear Ice Cap Zone 2 here.
Hope making this didnt give you guys any hard times
First person to take this remix snowboarding wins a cookie.
