And to finish off returning songs for the year (for now!), here’s a song I came very close to revisiting last year: Never Turn Back from Shadow the Hedgehog.

This one has always had a bit of a presence in May Madness remake voting, and as I just mentioned, I was going to do it in 2022, but opted for Supporting Me instead. Honestly, I wasn’t too familiar with any songs from Shadow the Hedgehog until I did this song for the first Sonic Fan Medley in 2014 (where all songs were chosen from fan submissions at random, this being one of the songs chosen). Since this is the credits theme, I used it to end off that medley, and as with most medley songs, people have been asking for a full version ever since.

Well here we are with the full version almost 10 years later!

There are mainly 2 major changes in this arrangement: I arranged the piano intro into an acoustic guitar variant, and I added a guitar solo section later on in the song (which I was surprised to realize wasn’t present in the original).

It appeared a lot of newer GaMetal fans and those unfamiliar with May Madness voting were anticipating an I Am… All of Me cover when the end card silhouette was revealed in the previous song. I will say I’m a huge fan of that song so, who knows… maybe someday!
