As mentioned earlier, I finally beat the final villain in Final Fantasy VIII last month! That also means I've been listening to FF8 music, both the original versions and some fanmade covers/remixes.

Maybe yes, maybe no. For when things get lovey-dovey, Eyes on Me. You know, it's hard to find a lot of Japanese video game songs sung by Chinese singers in English.



For when things get serious, Movin'. Parts of this remind me of old-school football highlight music, somewhat I enjoy talking about:



For when things get really, really serious, The Extreme. Headphones are highly recommended, especially for the intro:

This song from 80 years ago still goes hard:

Same artist. I used to do a bunch of DoorDash and I'd listen to trucker country on Spotify while driving, even though I wasn't driving a truck and I was in a metropolitan area. One of the playlists I found had this track on there.

Another song from that trucker playlist, the White Knight. I don't think this is the original artist for the song, but I like it.

10-4, back door, put the pedal to the metal and, let it roar.

The first track from the Bitte 8bit demo for Game Boy Color. I like this song enough that I've got it playing on my stereo system at home.

@Sean Indeed! That song was the Billboard #1 hit at the start of the 60's.

And this song was the Billboard #1 hit at the start of the 70's! Yep, "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" by B.J. Thomas.
