Here's my video game vocal cover of I Don't Want To Say Goodbye from Pokmon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time! I'm Sab and I love saxophone and video games, so now I make covers that combine two of my favorite things!
So this is definitely different than what I normally do haha! Pokmon Mystery Dungeon was a huge part of my childhood. I am so excited for the rerelease on Switch in just a few weeks!
I didn't finish Explorers of Time until my first or second year of college though. I started when it came out and just gave up after awhile. But I went back to it and super glad I finished it! The song made me cry quite a lot when I first heard it in game. It holds a special place in my heart.
This cover came together in about 3 days, which is surprising haha! I was playing it at the piano and just started singing what came to my head. I really took the idea and ran with it haha! I had some saxophone parts written out, but I prefer how it sounded without them.
I was largely inspired by my friend, VGR for this cover. He released a remix of this a few months back and I loved it! It was a really chill remix, but still very emotional, which is what I was going for. I was also inspired by my friend Zabrina Hay who is a phenomenal musician I've known in Boston for awhile. She always makes such beautifully layered music really showcasing everything she can do. I cannot thank them both enough for being wonderful inspirations!
Lastly, there's been a lot of stuff going, mostly just being busy with balancing everything in my life. Student teaching, college, YouTube, private teaching, and just being a person. Sometime it sucks when I can't be there for the people I care about because of work, obligations, and distance. And even though I can't always BE THERE, the people I care about are always in my thoughts.
