We’re gonna be desperate… with this remix of Supporting Me …for Biolizard from Sonic Adventure 2! 

I first did this song as part of the Sonic Fan Medley I did back in 2014. This year, it was the #1 most requested remake from the Patreon May Madness ballot (tied with Beware the Forest’s Mushrooms), and has also been placing quite highly in the public ballot for the past few years.

I’ve always loved this song, even more so after doing it in that old Sonic medley. It’s usually overshadowed by the immensely popular Live & Learn, but I think it’s right up there with it in terms of SA2 music rankings.

I based this arrangement mostly off of the original version, with a bit of Generations version influence thrown in as well. The original has a darker feeling, which fights Shadow better. The Generations arrangement is a bit more upbeat (and fits Sonic better, who is the one fight Biolizard in Generations rather than Shadow). It does this by adding a lot more percussion throughout the song.

You can also hear that the Generations version pretty much completely strips the extremely heavy amount of effects that are on the vocal track in the original. During my song research, I noticed that people’s biggest gripe with the original was that the vocal effects could be a bit much at times, making it hard to understand what exactly was being said. In conjunction, people mostly appreciated the clearer track in Generations… but it perhaps was missing a bit of the magic the original had from the effects.

So I tried to strike a balance between the two, keeping the effects present, but not so much as to make the words indecipherable. Maybe… some people say they still can’t tell, haha, but I do believe they’re a bit more understandable in this remix.

Thank you for supporting me throughout all these years!
