Rainy ✑ YouTube / SoundCloud descriptions

This song might be a controversial given what it was taking influence from. Serpaz has big earthbound energy and so I wanted to write a battle theme in that style. However, I quickly realized that a more traditional earthbound battle theme would not fit the more intense feel of the record. So I decided to get a little bit…extracurricular with the influence on this. If it wasn’t already immediately apparent, this song takes heavy influence from “Megalo Strike Back” by Toby Fox. “But Rainy” I hear you ask “Isn’t Megalo Strike Back a song from Undertale/Deltarune?” The answer is no, it’s from an Earthbound tribute so that’s how I can still connect this to Earthbound even if it’s tangential. That being said I didn’t just want to make my own version of a Toby track but I wanted add my own spin. To do that I did incorporate more earthbound-y influences like those from “Sanctuary Guardian” and “Pokey Means Business.” In addition, I pulled a little bit of influence from “Welcome to Hell” by Black Midi. The final song is a bit unhinged and all over the place but I think that fits the feel of the song perfectly imo. Fun Fact: I finished this song on April 1st.

It's take 1 > demo > final

I bailed on take 1 when I couldn't really find a direction and the demo would become the final version
