You know that music video you've always wanted? The one where a boy expresses his love for a tiny, knitted, fictional, egg-laying video game character? Well want no more!
Yoshi has been my favourite character from the Nintendo universe for as long as I can remember. His gorgeous little face and that endearing little voice has propelled him to the top spot of my Mario Kart and Mario Party selection dilemmas ever since I first laid eyes on him, and now with Yoshi's Woolly World I think he may have reached an unbeatable level of cuddly cuteness.
So I give you 'My Woolly World'. A song about my love for my very own Yarn Yoshi. I should probably warn you now that a particular scene in this video has been known to make full-grown, bearded men cry. Let us know if you enjoyed the video in the comments and whether or not you'll be picking up the game when it is released on June 26th (UK) / October 16th (US).
As with my last musical adventure ('Colourful Death' - Splatoon), you can find lyrics to the song and links to my personal YouTube channel and Twitter account below if you're interested in seeing more of my work.

'MY WOOLLY WORLD' - LYRICS
As I close my eyes every night, there's just one thing on my mind
It's you
My friends will never understand (Get over it, it's just a toy)
But I'll take a stand for you
Maybe I'll never have eggs for breakfast without feeling guilty
Maybe I'll never have any kids 'cause I'd be told to give you to them
But I'd trade everything that I own just to spend all my days with you
If you could speak you'd say the same thing too
Oh YoshiI've seen the way you help your friends, how you transform and back again
An umbrella, a plane and a motorbike
The list goes onMaybe I'll never get through a park without picking up yarn eggs
Maybe I'll never walk past a store without buying more apples again
But I'd trade everything that I own just to spend all my days with you
And your little woolly shoes
Oh YoshiI'll teach you to play the guitar
We'll sing underneath shooting stars
And then in return you can teach me to make little eggs that are made out of yarn
We'll snuggle to keep out the cold
You'll always be mine to hold
And I'll do my best to keep you by my side and look after you as we grow oldMaybe I should've tried to find another way to be happy
Maybe I shouldn't have put all my eggs in one basket with you
But I'd trade everything that I own just to spend all my days with you

This song is just so incredibly funny...
Isn't it Yōshi?
like if you cry every time ;-;
Wait, there was a love story in Twilight?!?
I mean... i've never seen that movie !! ... heh... akward... i'll leave now.
Paint me like one of your french Yoshi's...
I don't think you could set the bar any lower by picking Twilight to put this up against. Unless you are measuring the amount of awkward silent staring time. If you are doing that, then Twilight is the king (although the main actress cannot look someone in the eye for more than a few milliseconds).

@Tops Love the avatar man. Replaying the first trilogy right now.
That was pretty neat.
wow good song. Yoshi FTW
@Tops because he works for the website? (as some sort of moderator)
This is actually pretty good.. I really like the guitar.
The Feels! I didn't expect to have them at all but I did watching this video! D:
Good job with the music though!
Cryyyyyyyy. ;-;
@Tops, yah, but a lot of that is crap.
This was as adorable as the game is!
That was... sure a thing. xD
Nice song showing one person's love of everyone's favorite dinosaur!
YES, he says Yawshee!!! That's how it should be said! That's how Yoshi says it!
@Tops I was expecting that too! Ryan gets coverage because he works for Nintendolife lol
Not bad!
As I close my eyes every night, there's just one thing on my mind...
It's you. tissues at the ready
But srsly, Ryan, I can see you opening for McBusted!
I noticed your Yoshi has an affinity for apples. I thought that green Yoshi's only liked Watermelons. (and regular melons of course, everyone loves those!)
Only red, pink, black and white Yoshi's like apples.
Ggayyyy but little funny.
@schizor ;D
@Nicolai Thank you!
@EverythingAmiibo Exactly! If anyone knows how to pronounce it - I'm gonna go with Yoshi himself.
@Moon Imagine that! Yes please!
@AshFoxX Well... Who am I to tell him otherwise? If my Yoshi wanted to eat apples, even though that's not considered normal by society, I would stand by him and his decision. #EqualityRightsForYoshis
@RyanCraddock From one singer/songwriter to another, bravo. Funny, yet surprisingly touching. Seriously, that was great. I have yet to see any of your other stuff, but if they are anywhere near this quality, I suspect I will enjoy them as well.
I do have one question. What was the effect you used on your voice? Is it the TC Helicon VoiceTone Harmony G-XT?
@RantingThespian Thank you very much. I have several Nintendo themed songs on my channel (none of them hurt in the feels like this one though!)
As for my voice the entire song (apart from the last chorus) is double-tracked. (Incase you're unaware this means that I've recorded the entire vocal twice and panned each take to separate sides of the stereo space which gives it a very 'full' sound). There is a little reverb and compression. Then in the choruses and middle section I added a very basic echo.
@RyanCraddock Yes, I am aware of what Double Tracking is, lol. The way you did it sounded like there was much more to it. That just makes me more impressed.
Also, you've inspired me to write a song about my main man, Luigi. Now where's that guitar . . .
Seen a turn in the worse for some of the articles being published here sadly. Don't know if it's a lack of news problem but this seems like a pretty bad joke for "news"
So... adorable!!!!
We have peak NintendoLife.
