Escape from the City

Escape from the City
도시에서 탈출하자

1 개요

소닉 어드벤처 2의 히어로 스토리의 첫번째 스테이지인 시티 이스케이프에 삽입된 BGM.

2 상세

부른 사람은 Ted Poley와 Tony Harnell로, 이 두 사람은 훗날 소닉 히어로즈의 팀 소닉 테마곡인 'We Can'과, 소닉 라이벌즈 2의 메인 테마곡인 Race to Win 등을 부르기도 하였다. 작곡한 사람은 소닉 어드벤처 2와 소닉 제너레이션즈의 사운드 디렉터인 세노우에 준이며, 본인 왈 소닉 어드벤처 2의 보컬 트랙 중에서는 이 노래를 가장 좋아한다고 한다.

소닉 어드벤처 2를 해 봤다면 Live&Learn과 함께 꼭 회자되는 곡 중 하나이며, 곡의 제목에 어울리게 도시 내에서 GUN의 추격을 받고 있으면서도 자유롭게 활동하려 드는 소닉의 마음 상태를 잘 표현한 곡이라 할 수 있다.

Live&Learn과 마찬가지로, 태진노래방에서 이 곡을 부를 수 있다. 번호는 21597.

훗날 소닉 제너레이션즈에 시티 이스케이프가 재등장함에 따라 리믹스도 이루어졌다. 참고로 소젠 시티 이스케이프 ACT 1을 제외하면, 게임플레이 중에 GUN 트럭이 나타나는 순간 BGM이 'The Mad Convoy Race'로 바뀐다.

참고로 가사 중에 'Live&Learn'이라는 문구가 포함되어있다.

3 리믹스

소닉 제너레이션즈, 시티 이스케이프 ACT 1의 BGM. 제목에서 알 수 있듯 원곡과 달리 Cash Cash가 불렀는데, 특이하게도 메가드라이브의 사운드 폰트가 쓰였다. 또한 2절의 몇 소절을 들어보면, 멜로디가 엔드리스 마인의 BGM과 부분적으로 겹친다.
여담으로 이 곡의 인트로 부분과 2절 "follow me" 후 간주 부분은 tvN의 예능 방송 현장 토크쇼 TAXI의 오프닝 삽입곡으로 쓰였다.

팬들 사이에서는 원곡초월이라고 평가받고 있고 이후 소닉 기념 파티에서 재생 될때마다 원곡이 아닌 이 곡이 많이 사용된다.

  • Escape from the City - Blue Blur RMX
소닉 제너레이션즈의 시티 이스케이프 ACT 2의 BGM. 원곡에 기타 솔로와 브리지를 추가한 확장판이며, Cash Cash RMX와 달리 이 버전은 원곡을 불렀던 Ted Poley가 보컬을 맡았다. 2절이 끝나고 나오는 간주 부분은 소닉 어드벤처 2의 소닉 테마인 "It doesn't matter"의 도입부 멜로디와 겹친다.

Rolling around at the speed of sound,
Got places to go, gotta follow my rainbow!
Can't stick around, have to keep moving on,
