Can You Feel the Sunshine? from Sonic R - Up Tempo Big Band Version (The 8-Bit Big Band)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 лис 2023
- Joel Waggoner is featured in this up-tempo Swing/Broadway opening number inspired arrangement of "Can You Feel the Sunshine?" from Sonic R. for the Sega Saturn (1997). Originally a more electronic music/house inspired track, the lyrics and chord changes to me always felt like they would be right at home in a Judy Garland/Frank Sinatra inspired setting as the opening for some kind of mid-century variety show. Hope you enjoy!!

Obsessed with this song, the singer's voice is out of this world!
and no auto tune! :D
You're not the only one!
It is. 💜 Much love to you!
I kinda wish they had a female voice like the original though 😅
HES AMAZING ❤ 😭
It was an honor to play trumpet on this!!!! This is one of my favorite games ever 😭 I'll never forget playing this on Windows XP...
You and the rest of the brass section need an award because you lot were FIIRREEEE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
As my music playlist fills with more and more 8bbb and j-music ensemble you've continued to delight and bring sweet jazzy sounds to my ears, keep up the good work man!! 😊
windows xp? lol
@@LavaCreeperPeopleyeah pretty much every sonic game up until adventure had a PC release a year or two after it's console release. The PC version of Sonic R had much better draw distance and visuals vs the Saturn version
Outstanding playing!
1:02 my man T-posed to assert dominance over that high note. And damn it, it worked.
I love seeing that, the way different singers anchor themselves!
Not once but twice
@xxvskrunkle yeah I noticed that! Sounded so strong too!👏🏾👏🏾
@@AyeshaShaSha yesss
Definitely noticed the inspiration of “Can’t Buy Me Love” in this version, especially in the intro
I do love that Buble arrangement and was DEFINITELY inspired by it!! Congrats on being the first to notice haha
@@The8BitBigBandI had an inkling of a hunch these two sounded familiar!
Julia is absolutely SHREDDING that bassline 🤩
My favorite part is the insane strings run in the second verse. Joel's singing is top-notch, too. And I adore the animations for this one, with all the subtle details and fun interactions with the studio background!
YES! I literally commented the same thing! The strings are inSANE at that part! And the double bass throughout is just 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾
Grief, not a single instrument got off easy huh! Phenomenal musicians in that room, and another excellent arrangement. Great job all involved!
I’ve been obsessed with this ever since you performed it with Solomon Parker at MAGFest, thanks so much for recording it 😊❤!!!
I shed a few tears because of how beautiful this was. Definitely did brighten up my day.
Same
FR FR!!!!!
YES! One of my favourite songs from Sonic. I love Joel's voice. As always, amazing cover. I wish there was a European Tour, I would totally buy a ticket.
Best song in the album imo
I love it too.
Completely agree with you!
Yes a 1000 times although Pollyanna is a close second
hey! hey!! .. Diamond in the Sky? Super Sonic Racing? BACK IN TIME $#%@ respectfully, and hilariously, disagree. level 1 was always the banger to end all bangers though
No, this is a fact
I hope y’all win another grammy for this one.
Watching the (ridiculously skilled) drummer fighting for his life for 4 straight minutes ; _ ; hahahaha Bryan absolutely nailed it. Spotless track.
I was about to say the same thing. This wasn't easy to play at all
WTF I didn’t even know I had this song hidden in the closet of my mind for 20 years, how could you, among the plenty more famous song choose indeed this one to make me remember it with an exceptional jazz cover??? You are incredible as always
This is honestly one of my favorite songs of all time now! The sax solo is especially amazing, and the singer is insanely good!
That upright bass is going full savage mode. Outstanding!!
Sonic R is my all-time favorite game. Thank you so much for this absolutely incredible rendition. I can't even express the emotions I'm feeling right now.
This ENTIRE HORN SECTION at 2:27 onwards... I repeat this so much... I absolutely love it!
Bass player is on 🔥🔥🔥
I’m so glad I got to hear Joel sing this song live tonight back in his hometown! What a great New Year’s Eve performance! He is so talented!
Can I just say - this animation is quite brilliant! This banger is one of my favourite arrangements, and a superb job as always folks.
Stupendous work from the singer, the players, the animator... Just wonderful stuff as always.
Out of all the songs, I never would have expected this!
I love how Joel is dancing a little like the lead singer in Carlos' cover of this ^^
Why yes, I can feel the sunshine
Me too.
Yup,right between my two ears!
Thia is one of those songs where you absolutely feel so happy like pollyana and im so happy that people love it, this is phenomanal.
The level this piece requires to be play is just completely crazy 🤯 and it makes her even better to listen, I just love it like all the album 😍
That guy got some pipes!
Awesome once again. I can't imagine how expensive each video is since you have dozens of musicians and each needs to get paid something. Not just for the recording session.
Keep it up you magnificent bastards!
I NEEDED THIS
Yes 👏
Same!
for what occassion?
@@jimscott2050 A bad day
This cover really moves me.
I really can feel the sunshine.
Album 4 has got to be the best thing y'all have ever released. Grammy #2 coming right up.
MAN - What an arrangement!! Absolutely exquisite band!! And wow, I just gotta say that half-tempo feel in the end from the pedal just HITS you. SO hard. Such a treat!! In love & in awe of Charlie, as always!
I can feel the sunshine!
Never expected any Sonic music going Big Band Jazz at any time. Excellent & potential possibilties are open now. Thanks for sharing this with us here.
But they have already done two Sonic covers before 😃
@@Failentin,
I'm a recent arrival of this channel.
I'm glad I'm not the only person that misses this soundtrack
I love that everyone commenting has a different favorite musician. What an insanely talented ensemble
wow! I feel like If the world keeps collecting your covers, we'll eventually be able to turn super sonic
I can’t explain how much I love this album, it puts a smile on my face and makes me so happy!!! Thank you so much!!!!
Babe wake up new grammy worthy 8bbb song dropped
Jeez that double bass !
I can’t believe I missed this amazing tribute to the Saturn’s 29th Anniversary (coincidentally?) last November 22nd. Amazing cover as always.
I repeated this song like 50 times
That upright bassist is playing it super cool, but she's going absolutely haam on those strings.
this is my favorite song from the album, and maybe even of all 8-bit big band songs. its just fantastic, from the vocal masterpiece, to the banging sax solo all the way down to the bass line. I love this song!!
I was just telling my kid about this game! Easily the slowest Sonic the way I handled the controller, but this sound track is ace!
I can't get enough of this rendition! It's incredibly well done and Joel's voice is an incredible choice.
This video is really quiet compared to the others in this playlist though T>T so I always have to turn it to max for this one
Beautiful, the OG song is already so good, but this just hits different... Never am disappointed with these incredible arrangements!
THE GREATEST SONG EVER PRODUCED.
one of the most pleasant surprises from the album. i knew it would be good, but not THIS good. one of my favorites!!! i CAN feel the sunshine
MAN I DIDNT THINK IT WAS JOEL ON VOCALS HE KILLED IT SO HARD
He looks apathetic but sounds wonderful. That's a compliment I swear. he effortlessly sounds wonderful
The bassist is going to crazy
This such a underrated band and it kills me because you guys are just so damn good
it finally got released!! yesss
Ah yes Sonic Racing (or R) with the Slippery Controls and the birthplace of the Tails Doll Creepypasta
FINALLY MU GOSH, NO CONCERT VERSION
TJ Davis must be Proud ❤
Classic rendition. I love the original and you all killed it! Great job with the animation too!
This is my favorite song from Sonic R. On top of that, it is my favorite Sonic song of all of them, and on top of that, it is my favorite song, period.
Your reharmonizations have really put a new spin on everything.
You turned my bad into a good one. Thank you so much, 8BBB!
dang! This was the first song on the new album that released like a week ago. I listened to it and wondered "why did I never listen to this one wtf" and now I know it's because the video wasn't out yet LOL
You just made an already beautiful theme all the more beautiful. Great rendition.
love how much better they made this sound! love that sunshine!
been listening and singing with this non-stop since the album release. awesome job and thank you for everything!!!
I never even knew Sonic R had music because it would never play. This makes up for all those years. ❤
killer tenor solo
YOUR BEST FCKNG ARRANGEMENT
Excellent diction, to sing this Pinafore classic so well deserves respect.😀
Absolutely love this version of the song.my expectations are always blown out of the water with what you guys do
I was unREASONABLY invested in the race on the bottom
Oh boy, i can't wait to play this backwards for Tails Doll....
This so goooodddd , thank you for your amazing work 😭🙏✨✨✨💙🩷💙🩷
god you dont know how much i love this channel bc it introduced me to a lot of good video game songs AND covers them in my favorite genre of music :D
This is amazing. Music is great and singer is phenomenal! Well done!
Holy cow... There's no words, except excellent! It's like you're taking us back in time. There's barely any groups that make music like this anymore so it's nice to see big band hasn't completely died and still is full of talent.
The bassist, singer, and the saxophone soloist was extremely impressive.
And the drummer too, like man, he was into it and it was insanely difficult to pull off.
The vocals are so incredibly rich. Absolute banger.
This is my favorite individual song that you guys have done yet - fantastic!
Oh my god, this is absolutely amazing
I just don't understand the lack of love for Sonic R - on the Saturn at least. It was one of my all time fave consoles and I bought Sonic R as soon as it came out. In my opinion, the songs were uplifting and never cheesy, but the 8 Bit Big Band just elevated it to something else. Massive respect to Joel for singing this and bringing it alive in a completely different way. The original singer was a woman - and it's never easy to hear a version of a beloved song in a different way when the original is so iconic. I love everything about this composition, but to list it all would take too long. Thank you for creating these amazing audios and visuals. Happy new year for 2024!
Tails, Robotnik, Metal Sonic: All get passed by Sonic in the race
Knuckles: Drowns
Holy baton!! Awesome work!!! Please, bring us more Sonic song arrangements. Love you, guys!
Absolutely in live with tgis channel, i love the jazz covers sm and this one is definitely one of my favs
Holy shit that's absolutely amazing ! Loved every second of it, bravo to everyone involved !
I've been hoping for this one for awhile. Just as great as expected!
Gosh, this is such a wonderfully done arrangement. Easily the best fan arrangement of this tune from such a brilliant soundtrack. Nicely done, everyone!
Whoooooooooo, such a tune! Great arrangement, I love it!
Sonic R was my first video game!! So much nostalgia attached to this soundtrack. What a wonderful arrangement. I'd love to hear you guys do more from Sonic R!
Joel got some mad pipes. great job everyone!
Been listening to the track all week; cool to see the recording!
This is amazing! I clapped after the video!! 👏 Bravo!!
Absolutely amazing!!
Weird, I was listening to this song yesterday and then you drop this!
This is such a banger! Instant great mood!
Such a great track from such an undeserving game XD Brilliant work here, that vocalist is great!
I like this version. Well done!
This is so wonderful
You absolute MadLads
this arrangement is INSANE,,,, another banger added to my daily mix
Awesome arrangement!
Fantastic!!
