The use of melodica in this cover is perfect. Combined with the reggae style of the arrangement, The Forest of Hope is even more relaxing and enjoyable than the original.

Skatune Sunday – Lithium (Nirvana) SKA COVER Ft. Em Williams
When this song first came out, I was a senior in high school, but I was a music snob and didn’t give Nirvana much credit or attention back then.https://medi-nerd.com/2025/10/05/skatune-sunday-lithium-nirvana-ska-cover-ft-em-williams/

Skatune Sunday – Giant Woman (Steven Universe) SKA COVER
https://youtu.be/vwXBfcofGf4?si=22XEnnrG9y02j5r1

Skatune Sunday – Death Of The Heart By JER
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lG1Z-35w2BV_kPFputYFfi5PM0qV-pW-Y&si=bhnu_SBe2VCX-5o0
JER, the creative mind behind Skatune Network, has released their second album, Death of the Heart. I enjoyed their first release, Bothered/Unbothered, and I expect to love this one even more. JER’s messages of decolonization and anti-capitalism are just as present, if not more so, in this album. I’ll be listening to it while I work (the irony is not lost on me), and I’m looking forward to it.
