healing, Gary


I swear I've heard these beats elsewhere. I just can't seem to put my finger on it. Could it be elevator music? No. That can't be right. Could it be the music played during a good old '90s porno that you would watch from the illegal box your parents got? Nope that's not it either. 

But what could these melodies be exactly? Why is my 35-year-old brain so smitten by this music? There is only one answer. 

Video games. Yep. You heard it here. Every single track on healing made me think of a different game. And almost every one was one from my childhood.

Mario Bros., OBVIOUSLY. This was a big one. Right off the bat.

Super Metroid. 
Kirby. 
Legend of Zelda. 

It's all there. Is this "Music" in the sense that anyone would perceive? Not one bit. But I enjoyed the ride. 

Now pass me that bag of Fun Dip, and don't get it on my controller.

7 nights I stayed up way too late out of 10
