TRY TO KEEP UP (A Sonic Song) - Black Gryph0n & Baasik
2025.02.19
Earlier this year, Nate and I met with the Paramount music team regarding their music needs for the Sonic 3 movie! After sharing some of our ideas, they gave us the opportunity to write and pitch for multiple scenes! We were SUPER excited and, after we got the brief, we decided to write a feel-good punk-rock song inspired by Sonic Adventures 2 (the scene we chose was begging for it!) After a few months of deliberation, ultimately, they decided to go in a different direction (that's showbiz, baby). Of course we are sad that our music won't be in the movie, but we were SO thrilled and honored to have had the opportunity to be considered by Paramount on a franchise so near and dear to our hearts! We hope you love the song as much as we loved writing it, and we can't wait for you to see the movie so you can guess which scene this song was written for! ;-P

I wanna stretch my legs
Life's been so boring lately
But I'm feeling pretty great
And I'm feeling kinda crazy
I've been working
I’ve been waiting
But now I'm celebrating
I'm thinking
That maybe you should chase me
So if think you're fast enough...
Let's run ‘till the sun and the moon trade their places
Run cause it's fun when there's no one to chase us
Think you can catch me well you'll need some luck
Soon you'll be left in the dust
Try to keep up
You know I don’t know why
I've had this feeling all day
Cause I’m not gonna lie
I don’t always wake up this way
I’ve been tired
Uninspired
But now I’m feeling wired!
And I heard
You're fired up so maybe
If you still think you're fast enough
Let's run till the sun and the sky blur around us
Run cause it's fun and nobody can ground us
Think you can pass me well you'll need some luck
Soon you'll be left in the dust
Try to keep up
(Epic Baasik Synth Solo)
Run ‘till the sun and the moon trade their places
Run cause it's fun when there's no one to chase us
Think you can catch me well you'll need some luck
Soon you'll be left in the dust…
Let's run till the sun and the sky blur around us
Run cause it's fun and nobody can ground us
Think you can pass me you'll need lots of luck
Soon you'll be left in the dust
Try to keep up
