[LoveBitesmusic]

Phil Collins?

[elecheadmatt]

such nice peaceful music for a level i fucked up and plummeted to the earth over and over again in.

[medo145]

I loved pilot wings as a kid (still do), love the music. used to play it with my dad into the late hours of the night. i always found the game to be very relaxing. Shame they don't make an updated version. thank you

[thiagotecnico]

Y NO "Repeat" button?

[BryanELx]

long live nostalgia!

[supermario3459]

0 dislikes :D

[xcosmicwizardx]

Gosh... forgot how beautiful this was.

[SonicArtist313]

Unbelievable! Love all the comments! I'm Dan Hess, I wrote the soundtrack for Pilotwings 64. I just have to say how cool it is to find out that there were so many kids who dug the soundtrack. Thanks so much for posting this.

[harmfulifconsumed]

@SonicArtist313 Oh awesome what did you think of PilotWings for 3DS?

[SonicArtist313]

@harmfulifconsumed I haven't played the game yet but have viewed some youtube videos. Music sounds good. Would have been nice to have the current music capabilities on the old N64!

[fsmith9106]

@SonicArtist313 What other games did you compose the music to? I'm very grateful you created such an awesome track for my 90's childhood. I was wanting to ask if you gained inspiration from Kool and the Gang and Celebrate for the Gyrocopter? Also, the Birdman mission sounds very similar to R. Kelly's I believe I Can Fly. Is that by coincidence or design?

[SonicArtist313]

@fsmith9106 I composed the music for F-1 World Grand Prix in '98 before the market became flooded. That is so funny that you asked about the Kool and the Gang reference! That part of the Gyrocopter track was a late addon and originally was without that horn line. The line itself came from an old track I worked on as a kid, more of a Rush piece, but somehow morphed in to that line. Guess I must have had that old tune floating around in my brain, certainly not by design! LOL!

[runemies2]

@SonicArtist313 Pilot Wings 64 is yet still one of those games I still play these days, have N64 plugged on for nostalgia :D. The game itself was great because of all the easter eggs and other fun you could do but also the music was so great, especially "Jungle Hopper" makes me still smile when I listen to it. You have done well composing the music to this great game!

[TheXRealXBrapp]

@SonicArtist313 Dude, your music is godly. Whenever I hear pilotwings music, I think of my childhood. And that's all because of how beautiful and catchy you made it.

[SonicArtist313]

@TheXRealXBrapp Thanks, man. I love to hear that my music was part of childhood memories.

[logos2600]

@SonicArtist313 I've had the game forever but today I beat pilot wings for the first time (on the real console) and in the credits I was sure to look for the "music composer" to see who it was. Incredible work man. What other games have you composed music for? You're up there with koji kondo and the other greatest movie/game music composers!

[Justin2192]

@SonicArtist313 Mr. Hess, I adored this soundtrack. I want "Birdman" played at my funeral. :)

[SonicArtist313]

@Justin2192 Wow, that's a first! It's a little light hearted for a funeral, isn't it?

[sakoop96]

@SonicArtist313 This is an awesome soundtrack. Well done! :)

[GrayRambo1]

@SonicArtist313 Well, thank you so much for this music! I used to go around whistling these songs, years after my N64 broke, and they still mean a lot to me. This made my childhood and now, it's made my day again!

[KenobiBlack]

@SonicArtist313 Hey! Dan Hess, First off I would like to say thank you for your work on Pilot Wings 64. I love the game and soundtrack. How did you get into composing music? Did you go to school for it? How did you land a job with Nintendo? And my last question say someone wanted to sample your music for a Hip Hop track. How would they go about clearing it with you to get rights to use it? Would you be willing to lease someone the rights? Thanks for your time!

[TheRealLionNinja]

My only memory of this game other than the great music was.. "slight left.. slight left.. slight left.. almost through the mountains... slight left.. GUST OF WIND IM DEAD SHIT FFS ARGGHHGHHHHHHH"

[entropy44]

the music in this game was so chill

[Bleeeargh]

Is it just me or is Goose pretty much the Guile of aeronautics?

[MrAnimeviewer2000]

@Bleeeargh yeah pretty much

[youthboy14]

@Bleeeargh GO HOME AND BE A FAMILY MAN

[scikoolaid]

When this game first came out I was pissed off at how it didn't really feel like it kept true to the original enough, I mean look at the logo for god sakes!! So I never really bothered playing the game at all and felt it sucked at the time.

But seeing everyone with their nostalgic goggles on praising the game, and I having actually given the game a chance since then, I too feel this nostalgic love for it for what it is. It is a good game as well, the music is certainly a plus about it as well.

[kirbywordy]

i remember being small and making up lyrics to this

[digitaldud]

There's a bit of this tune mixed into the 3DS Pilotwings.

[GamecubeLPs]

I miss synthesized music of the 90s and early 00's.

[Staalstraal]

ah the sounds of adventure and exploration!!

[badturkali]

video games were so good before, untill xbox360 and ps3 came out.

[Wardog22476]

If I ever have a video me hang gliding on any POV, this will be the song for the background. Thumbs up if you agree!

[dekal1]

I remember when I got my 64, this game came with it. This was technology. I was thrilled. I was a little kid and I was so happy I got it. Now that I hear this track, it brings back that feeling.

[kabalscorpion]

"Nah boss, I'm calling in sick. I'm currently in the air."

[TurkStudio]

They just don't make games like this anymore. A era where people put there heart and soul into. Nowadays. there just not the same. Where did video games go wrong?

[JWiLLfoReaL]

good song. memories from 64 days.

[superswagist]

This music just makes me wanna tour the entire globe

[SewasKnightZero]

Hace muchos años que no escuchaba esta musica.

Gracias por subirla.

[VinzZissou78]

I have this song plus tons of other songs from N64 games on my ipod, it's great to hear at work.

[Vechz]

Wow. Normally I do this thing where I say "X people did such and such." Where X is the number of dislikes.

But.... Right now it's zero.

Hah.

0 people were unable to find the thermal updrafts.

:)

[finajet]

reminds me of good times in the 90s when i was a boy

[GameboyCW]

this brings back memories

[LilCyco223]

i remember trying to play this by ear on my flute in band. couldn't nail half of it.

[LJay54]

oh man what a tune,what a game!i love my 64!

[lilamah]

if only this game had a 2 player mode...

[LoggerMcKnocker]

I remember doing this. I always f**ked up in the beginning. It be like dee-dee-dee dee, dee-dee, dee, dee DAAAAAHHHHHHAHAAH

[DermRach]

It's song get back many memories.

[ItalianBandit]

Great game!

[valiantvyse]

Have you guys heard? THEY'RE MAKING PILOTWINGS FOR THE 3DS! Spread the word! This awesome series is getting the long-awaited love it deserves!

[OnThatPowder]

@valiantvyse no they canceled it

[MrMisterBluesman]

so nostalgic......my elementary to junior school life in brooklyn just flashes back in my eyes when listening to this song

[ariznabarreta]

Memories!

[GameboyCW]

the n64 is the best

[CarlyPacifici]

MAD MAD MAD MAD MAD RESPECT FOR NINTENDO 64 !!!

born in '97, played since '97, still playing in '10 :)

i swear to god nintendo is the best console ever

[OnThatPowder]

@CarlyPacifici pour me another whiskey, jerkoff

[OnThatPowder]

hhhhhiiiighhhhhhh

[TheRoute19]

My favourite songs on the N64 have to be Dire, Dire Docks from Mario 64 and this song. Both extremely brilliant!! You don't hear these tunes in many games now.

[thecreativeone]

Amazing game!

[BLARGHALT]

Ah, the simple joy of flying Goose through the oil refinery flame on the ice level. :3

[irguywhogunteechulsn]

@BLARGHALT

wow are you me?

[jabasker]

@BLARGHALT i guess you could say... *puts on sunglasses*... your goose was cooked?

[Monodi91]

i have noticed the Nintendo 64 had a lot of wind instruments in the music

[beastinblack]

@Monodi91 and gave you alot of wind playing it as well ;DD

[Finstahy]

another pilotwings game would go great on the wii!

[VinzZissou78]

It's amazing how Pilotwings calmed you down so much when you played it, the music put you in a chill mood. Games nowadays don't have that at all.

[Scike]

Wow, this brings back some memories. Next to Rogue Squadron, this game was easily my favorite for the 64 and I always loved the music in it. Used to play this for hours and hours, just sight seeing.

[SOREMX]

Game Music just is not this good anymore

[huffj20032003]

awe wow i was not the only one who felt this way about ol' Pilot Wings 64. god, they need to drop an official OST. i'd buy it!

[sonicBlue00]

I'm so depressed because games don't sound like this anymore.

[biglalways]

I love this track. I study to it, go to sleep and day dream to it. It's so BEAUTIFUL.

[karasZero]

I get all nostalgic listening to this. It's the music that made me remember Pilot Wings so fondly, aswell as the fact it's an awesome game.

[mikeym820]

God I loved this game.  Just fire up a doob and immerse myself..

[acemcjace169]

This song really makes me feel like I could spread wings and fly.

[valiantvyse]

I know.... this was the third videogame that I ever played in my lifetime, and it helped solidify my love for Nintendo, and other videogames. This series needs a third!

[TomcatBlackAce]

Start!

CHICKEN DIVE!!!! KAMIKAZE!!!!!!!!!!!

:/

[VinzZissou78]

i am so smoking some green with this track next hahaaa

[joshhaz]

I need to get this song on my ipod so i can go drive down by the lake and turn it up fuckin loud and smoke some weed with a 44 ounce coke in hand, and a shitload of other munchies. Thats really all i've ever wanted out of life

[619dxwwrestling]

@joshhaz that is a damn good idea

[Pai3000]

@joshhaz Lol!!

[Quartrez]

@joshhaz Smoking weed and driving, fucking good idea.........

[AlabamaSoldier]

So many memories of this game. This was such a soothing track to listen to. I used to do the hang glider and pause it just to listen to it.

[biglalways]

Me too. I still do it.

[jimih64]

@AlabamaSoldier Hahahahahahahaha me and my boy got high as fuck one night and did just that.

[joshhaz]

fuckin great game, classic as hell

[JPThunder01]

Why havent they released this or even the first Pilotwings on the VC yet?

[heerogunkenobi]

[heerogunkenobi]

[mailxxman]

[Rodriquez124]

It's one of those games you can only love, beautiful track amazing game :)

[smcoates17]

Ahhh, the good ol' days, this song alone made me love this game and hearing it now 12 years later is a nice childhood flashback. I remember when I would play the game, not caring about the missions, but just flying around with this playing. If I ever do any real hang gliding, I want my iPod to have this song.

[selfscienz]

so man y memories floods in from this song alone

[jws50]

I agree with T2Judgmentday. We all loved this game and still do!

I still have this game, I play it every now and then.

[aleerhcp1992]

[T2Judgmentday]

[Deadpool]

[NintendoArielle]

This is one of my favorite video game songs. :)

[airwalker2000]

This tune is good, but not as good as the birdman tune.

[DarkMario2]

This song and Birdman are my two favorite.
