I just got an old song on my mind, and I want to listen to it again.
I have only ever heard the song while playing StepMania on PC. Note that it was on PC with downloaded tracks, so it was probably not a default track from the game. I played the game around 2006-2008.
The song featured a heavy rhythm with a synth track on top. In a quick attempt to count the beat in my head, I would guess it to be at around 100-120 bpm.
In the game, I faintly remember the background image to have a small cartoonish kid in the air as though he’s jumping, but he has a balloon tied around his waist. My memory said that the song was called “Walking on/in air” but I could be completely wrong about it.
I have tried to recreate the melody on guitar. To make it easy for me to write, I only use 1 string. The pitch is pretty high, so I’m guessing the b-string is where it’s at, but I do by no means have perfect pitch.
5--5--5-0-2-4-5--5-7-7-4h5h7--4--4--4-0-2-4-5-5--10-10-9-9-7
I think the song starts with 3 "Boom"s and goes into that melody which repeats.
I feel like I have a lot of information, but my google-fu fails me. I’d love if anyone knows this.
Edit: I tooknyour suggested and recorded me playing it to give a sense of the rhythm.
The notes might be off by a bit, and it doesn’t feel 100% correct, but it should give a sense of it.
Searching here I did find these graphics:
The second image is very close to what I remember. In fact, it’s so close that I am worried this is a false clue and that my mind is just mixing up images. I didn’t recognize the song, though.
there were tons in the database with a similar image
