I Don't Want To Say Goodbye - Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2 || Ballad cover ||

I Don't Want To Say Goodbye (Never Forget) is in my opinion one of the prettiest melodies of all of Pokémon (and maybe even VGM in general!). I'm so excited to finally cover it, and even more excited to do it with a full band backing me up!
This is my entry to #SoundoleChillOut2024 and the Pixel Mixers May 2024 cover contest.
Huge thanks to Justin Thornburgh, mechajabo, Andrew Gossett and Sean R. Hanson for jamming with me! Be sure to follow them!
