Description:

This song was written, recorded and inspired by my decision to get back home to Australia after studying and living abroad the USA for over a year.


I have the fortune of getting Donniegirl12 to help me out with Tails for the recording and for the sketched artwork that compliment the song. It was fun colouring those two in their snowy Christmas inspired attire.


Hope you'll enjoy this lovely cover of Sonic Lost World's 'Frozen Factory Zone 2' level and may the singing and lyrics resonate the times where you may have shared a similar experience to mine - where you just feel that it's time to head home and start anew.



Lyrics:

(SONIC LOST WORLD - SNOWBALL WALTZ)

    ·     Darkspeeds as Sonic the Hedgehog

    ·     Donniegirl12 as Miles 'Tails' Prower                


Sonic: "Phew! I'm done being a snowball! Brrr! It's pretty lonely out here...! I wonder where Tails is?"

Travelling around in the snow, my feet on ground it feels cold
I sense that the world has gone slow, this feeling's getting old
And the next thing you know you feel bleak
This feeling you know you can't fight
I'll tell you now, I will speak
How homesick I'm feeling tonight   
(Have a listen)

When you're alone, and feeling down
And it's a long, long away from home
You want to hold on to the things that'd bring back your smile
You miss the laughs from your friends and the warmth from the ones you love
Just remember this song and you'll know that you'll be fine
La la la laah-da-da-daaah!
Fa-la-lah!
This is how I would sing my song!
La la la-la da-da da-da faah-la-laaah!
Home is where the heart is
Fa-la-la-lah ~ I may be far
I may feel like I've lost my way but there
is something that I will know for sure!
My heart will guide me back home!

Tails: "Oh hey Sonic! What'cha doing?"
Sonic: "Oh it's nothing Tails, I think I'm feeling a little homesick after our adventure in this Lost World. What was the name again?"
Tails: "The Lost Hex Sonic. You know I'm feeling a little homesick too. I miss Amy, Knuckles, our friends.."

There are times when I feel, like a seed of a tree, it flies off over the hill, making its journey
Some of the seeds will reach land, some of those seeds will then grow.
Tails: "But what happens if you're that one seed that's not part of the group and you're all on your own...?"

Sonic: "Gosh Tails, that's pretty profound!"

Tails: When you're alone, and feeling  down     (Sonic: "You know the song too!")
Tails: And it's a long, long away from home
Sonic and Tails: You want to hold on to the things that'd bring back your smile
Tails: You miss the laughs from your friends and the warmth from the ones you love
Just remember this song and you'll know that you'll be fine   

[bold & italic means Sonic will join on those parts]

Tails: La la la laah-da-da-daaah!
Sonic: Fa-la-lah!
Sonic and Tails: This is how we are feeling!
La la la la da-da da-da fa-la-laaah!
Sonic: "Home is where the heart is! Right Tails?"
Tails: "Yeah!"
Sonic and Tails: Fa-la-la-lah ~ We may be far
We may feel like we've lost our way but there
is something that we will know for sure!
Our hearts will guide us back home!

Sonic: You know little buddy I feel a little bit better now!
Tails: I feel the same!
Sonic: Glad you do, now come on, let's go kick Zeti butt and save the day!
Tails: Right behind ya on that one!
Sonic: Ha ha! Last one to that mountain is a slowpoke!
Tails: Whatever Sonic. Just watch me get there first!
Sonic: Hey! No cheating! Flying not allowed!
Tails: Who says I'm flying? Foxes can't fly!
Sonic: And foxes can't talk either! The point is I can't fly, I'm running, and so will you!
Tails: I can't hear you!
Sonic: Cheeky little bugger! I won't hold back!
Sonic: *laughing and chuckling too*

A snow pic in July? Oh wait, it's Australia. It must be freezing down there. Good to be home, eh?

Sonic's Santa outfit goes well with his gloves, and there's something about Tails' mittens that I think looks cute. You and Evan must have had fun drawing together.

Does the water in your toilet also spin the other way when you flush?

I'm not too sure, I'll have to go and check that one again when I get back home. I do remember my friend from the UK making the same joke about it before!

*gasp* Oh now I get what you mean by Evan's drawing having a meaning! (after reading and listening to the YouTube link a couple of times)
Just disregard/ignore on the previous comment where I've made in the Journal Post regarding my question on why the drawing is snow themed.
& I forgot that there is snow in at least parts of "Sonic Lost World".
 

When I just listened to this song, it was really touching to the bottom of my heart.
I too would have felt the same if I ever get homesick.
& it makes total sense on understanding on how the lyrics would fit and reflect to your own journey.

Having that emotion of being homesick to me makes me think in a nostalgic trance,
where I can't stop thinking about being very close to family and friends that have helped shaped our world.
& that no matter how far or near we are with our dearest family & friends,
just knowing and steadfastly believing our kindle of love with our family and friends is enough to call it home.

Best of luck on returning to Australia!!!

BON VOYAGE!!!

Thanks, I'm sure I'll get home in one piece.
