Lyrics
Verse 1
I can't remember anything at all
I've been turning it all around
I'm sorry, oh so sorry
Is this what I have become?
Chorus
Wish I may, wish I might
Be someone else tonight
Sometimes I wish I was never born at all
And I'll try to save the world
Cause in the end I know
I'm the chosen one
I'm the chosen one
Verse 2
I can't remember what I used to be
Something's turning me upside down
You made me
And I love you
But I can't change the things I've done
I'm the chosen one
Repeat Chorus
The chosen one
I'm the chosen one - Zábava

I got this song in my first time playing, and I thought, "I found the computer room...but at what cost?"
Disgustedorito
At the cost of that damn FOURTH chaos emerald
Except you already have the fourth Chaos Emerald the moment you end Cosmic Fall, so your joke doesn't work.
Maria: What did it cost?
Shadow: Everything
oof

+Jenny Zhao Where's Gamma? I miss him a lot as a character!
agree
The chorus is pretty heartbreaking, but the line that solidifies the sadness for me is "You made me, and I love you, but I can't change the things I've done." It's like, I can't change the fact that I'm the antagonist, but "bad guy" doesn't mean I'm a bad guy.
Deku Scrubber Yeah, that's really beautiful.
- "I am Shadow the Hedgehog, a research experiment... gone deadly wrong.
I've caused so much destruction... I should never have been created. This is WHO I am..."
Hey Shadow don't go there, yet.
things might not be what they seem . . .
you could be . .
...
Added to your library: *"Shadow's Second Death..?"*
Wow...
Dude, the japanese dialogue goes even harder and the voice acting is super good, Shadow's voice was trembling and Vector was struggling to find the right thing to say... i really dont care for the dubs cheesy "THIS IS WHO I AM", the original's "that's my answer" is better imo.
Honestly the original was better in every regard especially since it had no juvenile swearing or the lines about THE EVIL ONE. Much less goofy overall.
This song I feel truly embodies Shadows character at his best. A confused creature left with no memories of his past, yet when he remembers over the course of his game he begins feeling immense regret and shame for actions he feels responsible for but aren’t his fault. The ARK being raided, the death of Maria, the near destruction of Earth in SA2, and only wanting to fulfill his purpose as either Mankind’s Savior or Mankind’s Downfall. He’s not an angsty rival to Sonic nor is he even a rival at all. He’s just a confused guy left with no direction, having been created for selfish goals of a scientist that wanted to create the Ultimate Savior and a tyrannical galactic overlord who only wanted the Ultimate Weapon.
I genuinely feel bad for Shadow, because he’s not his own person and he knows it. His entire existence is one where he was given no choices for his own life, no path for himself to carve. That, and the current writers of the games have horrifically flanderized his character into becoming the negative stereotype that detractors of the series think he is. That of a generic rival to Sonic when Shadow never cared for Sonic. Hell, outside of Omega and Rouge, he doesn’t have much to say about anyone else. Not because he’s a dickhead but because due to being imprisoned for 50 years and not knowing what his true purpose is, he’s just confused about himself and as a result distances himself from others as a protective instinct, as those that he built emotional connections with 50 years ago died.
Overall, he isn’t an asshole like Vegeta nor a rival like him either. He’s a poor, confused creature that has been so dependent upon the orders and wishes of those in his past that he misses dearly. Even if by the end of his game he vowed to not be concerned with past and focus on the future, he’s bound to have moments of relapse and just break down from the pain of it all.
you're absolutely right, unfortunately since 2010 shadow is apathetic and no longer shows affection towards rouge and omega, shadow was perfect from 2001 to 2008
shadow unfortunately today is seen as one who passes from the sides of good to evil, but it is not so shadow since 2006 was good and the only thing he wanted was to protect the earth and live in peace, the shadow of 2006 would never have allied with the bad guys for their own profit
@@ecaterina9915 Sonis 06 did at least 1 thing right, it cemented Shadow as my favorite character in the franchise.
@@maxrichards3881 true
well said
This just sounds so bitter. Basically saying "I'm special. But that's the problem."
The way I see it the song is trying to depict that sort of anime hero special where yes you're strong and cool now but everyone's expecting you to live up to an impossible standard where they can trust you to solve all the huge world ending threats and save the day without complaining or failing, like if you plucked any normal person off the street and gave them the powers of superman along with all the responsibility that implies they'd probably emotionally falter under all the strain of look we have a perfect person now, we can just let them do everything.
I'm probably reading too much into it, it really just sounds like a song that's meant to sing about the specific character of Shadow and the problems he faced in the game much like in the same way a fanfic writer might pick out a song that, to them, personifies their gary stu and write the lyrics in one of the chapters.
SuperRegic
I think you hit the nail right on the head. Take Jesus, not to infinge on your beliefs, for example: he knows that he's gonna die for our sins and has prepared for it all of his life, but on the night of his arrest, he begs God to not let him go through the crucifixion. Afterwards he accepts his fate because "in the end I know, I'm the chosen one".
*****
I was giving an example.
***** Why you getting offended by the mention of religion?
That... is... kind of Shadow in a nutshell... I mean it is more complex than that, but ultimately, he was made to be special, and this has, either directly or indirectly resulted in a good chunk of his life being awful.
"Find the chosen one" - Vector.
Wait don't go there... Yet things might not be what they seem. You could be...
Vector "The Computer Room" Crocodile.
***** Thanks to you know I have to go find the computer room for Vector, and discover why I'm the ultimate lifeform
@@TheSkully343 the yet is just vector saying dont commit suicide now do it later
To get through tight spaces, press the circle button to slide!
That's deep Vector....
Shadow and his overly reflective eyes
***** You should know...I should know...and I need to find the computer room for Vector now.
Shadowespio Someone should hack Sonic 3 (or Chaotix, whichever works) and make a game where Espio looks for the computer room. :P
Tael the Mask Salesman YAS :D
Sapphire Luna "Look, you can tell he's a robot, no living creatures eyes are that reflective."
His name was originally Terios, meaning "Reflection"
shadow is most well written character in the series by far, a shame that most of the great storytelling that happened to shadow in his game and in sonic 06 is overlooked by most fans
Thos game had so many plot holes and contradictions to Shadow as a character
Facts
Agreed
@@KesslerVTuber Well yes and also no. They're not exactly plot holes per se. The whole motif of Shadow was all the routes show what he could have become, with the end being the Semi-Dark Hero ending, and the pure hero ending swaying him to be a pure hero.
06 his alliance with GUN is a symbol of him putting his past to rest and fulfilling Maria's wishes to protect Earth. By being with GUN, he gets clearance and access to more tools to fulfill his promise.
As well as Mephiles is a symbol of who shadow used to be. Hatred and contempt for humanity for creating him and then sealing him away. Even when Mephiles showed one day he would be sealed away for good, Shadow didn't care, he will deal with it when that time comes, but for then and now he will deal with the current problem he had.
*wall of text, sorry*
But yeah, 06 and shadow weren't that bad. Even the plotholes have some explanation for them, save for the time travel rules not being explained clearly.
@@NeonBlueLight no. These plot holes are not different routes shadow can go down. His story ended after Adventure 2. Stop trying to justify shitty desicion making from Sega
Hero Ending:
"I am Shadow the Hedgehog, a research experiment...gone deadly wrong. I've caused so much destruction...I should never have been created.
This is WHO I am..."
"Wait! Don't go there, yet!
Things might not be what they seem, you could be..."
Dark Ending:
"I am Shadow the Hedgehog. The ultimate lifeform born and raised aboard the ARK. I must live on...I am the protector of the ARK...I am living proof of the ultimate lifeform...
This is WHO I AM."
"W-what!?"
"Leave and never return. I won't allow anyone to violate the sacred ARK."
Odd how the Hero ending seems a lot more darker than the dark ending with how shadow loses his will to live.
@@entropy7705 IKR?
@@entropy7705 Semi Hero (True), he’s not fully a Hero, he’s definitely not a villain, he’s not neutral as he knows what his purpose and morals are, but he’s just lost in the middle of it all. Being unsure is pretty scary. Plus that Dark ending ain’t too bad anyway.
I never knew a painting could make music
Not he music you'd expect this particular painting to make eh? But hey, books and covers and the like.
+PirahScoot i almost didnt understand
+Anime luver 666 The Mona Lisa is a painting and the artist of this song is 'Mona Lisa Overdrive'
+Shadow the hedgehog Don't worry, I almost didn't at first either.
Me neither. Not what I expected that picture to make though.
Memories? No. Shuddering whispers and flashing lights. The end result of a hastily created mind. And he saw a deeper message in those hollow memories that wasn't there to begin with. Driven by such demented fantasies, he did great, awful things to so many people. Was he an accident or a weapon? Something else? It doesn't even really matter anymore. The dark fog clears yet the naked light burns worse than any fire or metal.
To wade through the rubble of your ignorant destruction whilst enlightened is a humbling, painful experience. Every twisted beam and crumpled slab of stone, every destroyed home... every limp body. He did this, knowingly, but only when he knew why did he finally know to stop.
He can't change who he is or why he is. He can't fix what he's done. He'll fight for his atonement if only out of loss of anything else he could do, but he knows the truth about who and what he really is when the cards are dealt. Good, bad, it boils down to one fact.
He is the Chosen One.
***** It is my goal, I swear to you. Sonic Unleashed, Shadow The Hedgehog, even Sonic '06... it is my oath, my duty, that I will bring them up from their toxic ashes as pure phoenix glory with a splash of king's dollar for royal sheen.

You know you're an indie band when you have to advertise your new music on a fan upload of your old music
I remember when I was young and heard this song while playing the game, thought it was edgy and laughed. Soon tho times became tough, bullied at school, parents fighting, and this inferiority complex that no matter how hard I tried I would never be seen as good enough compared to anyone else. It was around that time stumbled around this song again and actually heard the lyrics, taking me time to digest.
I cried. Song isn't that profound, but it just hit me was most vulnerable. There's this melancholy in this song that we all feel regrets, apathy for life, and wish we could be someone else. HOWEVER, hidden within it, is this odd sense of hope, you are the chosen one, whether good or bad, only you can dictate your life and how it plays out in this world. It didn't change my life, but this song along with many other factors, led me to reconsider my life and ultimately not give into true despair. That crying brought forth determination and hope for a better future, I decided to be more involved in school, try to curb my social anxiety, and despite problems at home, try to focus on my own life goals in hope of a better future.
It's been years since then, graduated college, parents made up a while ago and are back to how they were before, and I never could have imagined the things I would have missed had I made a stupid decision while I was young. Sometimes my old anxieties come back and it sucks, and more hard times is the reason why I'm back here, but I just need to remember how it was back then, when I felt completely powerless and isolated, and it's the same as it was back then: I want to see what more life has to offer me, and even if I feel like the world is out to get me, I need to persevere and make it through the next day. Eventually, if you keep reaffirming your self-worth, you will reach a bright end to the tunnel.
wow,that's a tough life you endured until now...hope you're doing well nowadays,man.
Lmao
Same man, high school sucked for me. I only graduated last year. I had friend problems, social isolation from COVID, all that shit. This song really saved my life.
Thank you for sharing this! And I'm glad that you've come so far! Sonic has helped me tremendously, and Shadow is part of that too, for how much he & his game resonates with me. As you can see, "edgy" really is just a term people who don't understand like to throw around. All of what you said really resonates a lot with me too and I've also found it easy to forget just how powerless and isolated I was, and even if I'm not done yet, how much more control I have now than before. I'm doing a lot better too than 2016 - hell with that year!
I’ve been in that place too. Shadow and Twilight Princess were my escapes. And they both had fantastic soundtracks that kept me coming back, rather than offing myself. I’m glad you’re here too. We’re the chosen ones.
I hit my head and damaged my nose in a fall in 2017 and lost most of my memory, I remember very few things, Shadow the Hedgehog is one of those things. This song helps me because I lost alot of my memories and it helps me to understand that no matter what imperfections you have you can be considered a "chosen one" by family or loved ones. I love this song and thank you SEGA for molding me into what I try to be today, I'll always love the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise for helping me
Hope your okay. Losing my memory is one of my biggest fears because you'll never know that you lost your memory unless someone else told you and you would never be able to recover the lost memories basically rendering all the time you spent experiencing them wasted unless it left a lasting impact on others.
All that stuff you sayd was fake

Edgy the Hedgy.
+Edward Gerwer Every time someone makes a "Ow The Edge" or "Edgy the Hedgy" joke (if you can call it so), a dozen of kitten die.
That was sorta edgy, Al. js
This song definitely defines Shadow. It tells of the semi hero that will work for anyone if they pay him right, but when it comes to it he will save the world. It also shows Shadow’s self hate and the dark personality that comes from it as he pains from his past and follows raw emotion over what would typically be described as right. Shadow is definitely the best and most interesting character brought out in any Sonic game.
I wish sonic team would bring music like this back into the games
Sadly it won’t, that was the 2000s and most likely they would put in mumble rap (and not the good kind )into new games
We just need another dark Shadow game.
i wish they would remaster this game. probably would have done better if it wasn't on gamecube
@@therandomdude-vj4kk people just wanted another sonic adventure, not down talking sonic adventure, but this is a whole different game gameplay wise. But I agree, we need a remaster, but we probably won’t get one since this game wasn’t successful.

yeah the game is awesome, same w/ the soundtrack, people hate it cause of the slippery controls and *DAMN* being overused however i dont mind it lol
Junkyardplaya
correct me if i'm wrong but Shadow in this is a clone of the one in sonic adventure 2, check the shadow android ending, thats if you still like the series ofc ;)
It's painfully average
I liked the game, but after playing through the story for about the 3rd time. It got old for me, and I just couldn’t be bothered to go for the true ending
For me, the games plot is all over the place. It had so many possibilities that it just didn't know what it wanted to be.
I loved the game play, gun play was fun too, and Multiplayer was fun it is mostly solid and feels good even though shadow does slide a bit. It's definitely an improvement from Sonic Heroes.
I wouldn't call this a bad game by any means, but it not a game I come back to often, I beat it once and that was enough. It took a out of me to play the game 10 times to get the Last Story. Haven't seriously played it in 2 years. it just doesn't have the same charm as other Sonic games.

A song in a Sonic the Hedgehog game, everyone.
I see no problem with this
*Shadow the Hedgehog...
Very fitting actually
early to mid 2000s were wild 😂
And that's part of what I love about this game - it really resonates with me deeply.
Problem?
This song would fit right well into a Silent Hill game. It just goes so far as to show how depressed Shadow was in the Heroic Neutral ending. I think Shadow deserves another go with a new game.
“I was weak...
That’s why I needed you,
needed someone to punish me for my sins...
but that’s all over now.”
Also I can see broken and this song fit in silent hill.

Hopefully it focuses mostly on shadow and his past

i have always loved shadow.... he had a horrible past.... someone he doesnt remmeber created him back from the old him.... his destiny proves to him he is who he wants to be.... and no one can change him BUT him and that is why i love Shadow.... he is awesome, he is broken, wants answers.... and will stop at nothing or for no one.
The first time i got the semi-hero ending and this song start playing I cried soo much!

I did as well because it came out of no where
I mean tbh i don’t really see a point in crying at this song. It's not sad or anything.
@@TheBengaliGokay
This is a song for those who know they should be dead, that it's better that they are dead, and they know that, but they must still continue to live for a reason only they will understand. Beautiful.
This game was a vibe.
This song completely explains every part about Shadow. How he felt devastated about losing Maria and how he wishes he could change the past and how everything was brought upon him.
Man, what a rough past he had. I feel his pain much more ;_;
That one meme of depressed Spider-Man walking away from a battle happening in the background.
This song explains what Shadow The Hedgehog is about... it is Shadow finding about his past.
Man I wish soul searching was this epic for everyone :P
I never said it wasn't epic
I know I'm just saying, when Shadow goes searching for himself, it's an adventure with different possibilities. If everyone had an experience like that, it would make for great stories.
True that
Dragon ofShadowland Agreed. :)

This was such a shocking song to discover for such a dark game. I'm one of those guys that can gladly embrace Sonic getting towards dark territory. As a result, I don't mind the tone Shadow the Hedgehog was going for. Oddly enough I like the game pretty alright. It was shocking going through the same world that we visited in SA2 and Heroes only to find it in such a pitiful state...and all because of our favorite anti-hero. I felt like this was what should have been a really good sequel to Sonic Adventure 2's story. Sadly, it isn't as much as it should of. But this song...just this song. It's weird for me to describe it but it's beautifully depressing music. That's how I would put it. I'm not sure why I like it so much but it just brings so much background and revelation to shadow. Very powerful and passionate. I'm glad shadow the hedgehog exists just for this song and all the game represented as an experiment for the franchise. To me, it was an enjoyable try at progressing the Sonic series.
Sonic games in the early 2000s were aimed towards a teen demographic, and honestly it should've stayed that way.
This is the way Sonic should be, and I agree 100%. I'm sick of how the series has been since Colors.
Drakkona123 Hey it's the guy from the Knuckles theme song video! What's up? Yeah I agree man. Sonic is supposed to be cool and aimed at everyone, especially teenagers or at least an age group somewhat older than Mario's audience. I just don't take the recent games seriously nowadays. Colors I could tolerate because it felt like an adventure. With Generations it was the excitement of seeing my favorite stages remastered. Lost World and Boom just revealed the new direction that was there since Colors......and it sucks.
Joseph Franc Oh hey, didn't know it was you! :)
And yeah, the new direction is awful.
Drakkona123 I noticed it was you because I saw your reply like minutes after I saw you reply to my comment on that video. I came here and saw your reply. Really weird. I was on a sonic music binge so I guess you were too as well.
Again, I agree the direction with Sonic is awful. Btw if you want a laugh, go check out Stephen Frosts interview on why he thought the Sonic Boom licensing was a success. It's hilariously stupid. I saw it on Sonic Stadium. Just google it.
Shadow is one of the best characters and personally my second favourite before the dreaded scene in sonic forces where tails is cowering in fear of CHAOS 0 so yeah wtf sega

Rouge:Shadow…Even if you believe everyone in the world will be against you,know that I'll always remain by your side, remember that.
Those two lines make so sad.

It's a shame to me that this game didn't do so well,because in my opinion the soundtrack to this game was dope asf,hell I'll go a step farther than that I feel that this song in particular in my opinion,IN MY OPINION!!Is one of the greatest songs of all time.There was some truly beautifully and powerful instrumentation and songs made for this game.Some sincerely epic and wonderful musical peaces were made for this game.
I remember getting the Vector ending on my first play through, This, Made me quiet for a while, It's the first time a song from the Sonic series ever made me want to cry.
I don't understand why people don't like this game; I absolutely love it. It has a great story and the perfect amount of dark stuff; like monsters killing people and black doom. This is one of my favorite sonic games of all time.
Homo sapien
THANK YOU
SOMEONE WITH THE SAME OPINION AS ME
i dedicated an almost 48 hour time period, barely any breaks, just to beat this game and i fucking loved it.
Because they only want Sonic 1/3&Knuckles on repeat.
Homo sapien so true
it was very good and fun to play i also liked the story (except when the last story made my choice irrelevant or i'm on someones side but there troops attack me anyway) in fact you don't get many high speed 3rd person shooter action platformers if they made something like this again i would buy it.
Because it has so many game design flaws, I get liking this but it really shouldn't be that hard to understand why people trash on this. This game is so damn repetitive.

Peak 00's here. I wish i was born just a bit earlier to experience all of it
This is the saddest StH theme I know of, this is the one that basically fits ‘that’ ARK ending.
This defines shadow as the antihero, just ingnore the title on that one. That had to save the world, but failed, that he wished he never existed, never did so many terrible things, it's just so depressing
Chosen One was, in fact,written specifically for this game by Odyssey of Mona Lisa Overdrive (formerly known as A2 at the time of release). Sega had originally asked the members of MLO for use of a song called “Broken” which was a song from their former band (Sins Of A Divine Mother). Broken was written by Wylie Beechler ( the singer of Sins). When they were unable to get hold of Wylie, Sega asked MLO if they could write a new song with a similar dark sound for Shadow. The Lyrics were then written by Odyssey based on the plot and story of the game and the specific ending story line and the music was written to capture the basic feel of “Broken” and to capture the dark melancholy emotion of Shadow’s character
No matter what anyone says when I got all A Ranks and all the Secret Keys in this game I actually felt more accomplished then getting all A Ranks in SA2...and the Hard Mode was totally worth it, you get to play through the entire game with every level its the main reason I come back to this game :3
Ya man same. Expert mode in Shadow were pretty fun. Though it feels empty when you finish it.
daspoulos You really only do Expert Mode to find out why Shadow is with GUN in 06
Stockholm syndrome.
@@AyseeMD I think of his attempt to fulfill Maria's wish, while also making sure, that this organization will never commit another horrible atrocity such as the Raid on ARK.
@TheAlchemistTrinity
Honestly, in my opinion, getting A ranks in this game was super easy. In the other Sonic games I find it WAY harder to get A ranks.
This ending is really sad... even if it's not true.
Perfect credits theme tho.
Shadow kills himself :(
Memsly_ Mem no he doesn't lol
@Siper My head canon is that Vecter forcefully adopted him, since he was there in that ending, I believe.
If Sonic X had a season 4, this would be the perfect closing theme for the adaptation of Shadow's game - "The Black Arms saga" sounds good?
Sonic X was so trashy because of it trying to tie in these two seperate worlds and shit, Sonic should’ve just been in the human world, Earth, it worked for the games it would’ve worked for the anime.
ุ ุ Well I mean, in reality they had to, think about it, do you think a blue hedgehog who bounces on springs and collects rings and runs fast would be in a normal human would from the start? Or hell a fox with 2 tails or anything in the Sonic Universe. They needed a reason to make both worlds, since if Sonic would just start in the human world it wouldn’t makes sense cartoon-wise. In the games, it makes more sense considering that back then their wasn’t much of a continuity until really the adventure series.
Sonic x was bad but true
He never was on earth, he was on mobius right
@@-.killua.-8038 no it was earth. And yeah the anime was quite shit ngl.

this song has given me another reason to adore the ultimate life-form
Given CZcams's situation right now, this song's lyrics suddenly mean a lot more.
lol I know right youtube and there stupid policy I mean come on!!! get real youtube
It's too edgy for CZcams x3
I made a similar comment on a Attack On Titan video.
Shadow The Jedi I don't see it on your channel
0IIIIII go to attack on titan intro English dub, you might find my comment.
A truly underrated gem of the Sonic series,i remember that played this game when i have like 11 years old in 2009,and it was really great, not only by the art or the story,if not by the different mode of game with Shadow,the tone of the story and morality decisions and for the guns,and never i was able to obtain the True Ending of this game.
This game in my opinion is the best spin-off game ever,aside of obviously: Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing sub-saga.
most people think of the Sonicverse as a playful little place that mimics the marioverse in playful tones and silly stories. this song says different. it's this kind of music that brought a serious and real tone to the sonic world and that is what makes it so special. sonic world even though it can be funny, has had real defining moments and character development. thanks Sega :)
WOW, I love that wallpaper. The way they rendered Shadow in this image is just so superbly well done. As your listening to this while looking at that, it makes you think of the atmosphere and action shadow went thru in his game.
This is without a doubt in my mind one of the best songs ever made.
Damn the intro is awesome.
Neutral-Hero Story Mode indeed my favorite.
This song is a whole ass mood
Sometimes I wish I was never born either.
We all have a reason but I know the feeling
EusoudosAnjos I feel ya, I'm in that stage of my life right now :/
I can relate too, but everything will be alright, never give up and stay strong. The same thing happened to me, but I overcome and grew more stronger. Life can kick you in the balls make you do things that you will regret. But now i'm here about to graduate in the university. I found redemption with my family and nothing can make more happy.
Be strong guys like shadow, overcome all your bad stuffs, because everyone of you can. Believe it's possible
Peace ^_^
EusoudosAnjos man, join the club 😔
Edgy teenagers. Gotta love hormones.
When you find the computer room
So many people work hard to make songs like these, yet so little get recognition. It pisses me off just to think about it. Also, Sonic music will always remain the coolest!
If they're gonna introduce Shadow in a post-credits scene in next Sonic Movie (just like how they presented Tails) I hope they use this song
*SPOILER*

Well, you were half right.
@@mrfrits94 i just watched it at the theatre!
How are you feeling about the credits scene? :D
Well aren't you a prophet.
Who else sees this song mabye appearing in a movie?
That would actually work!
what would the title be?
I've got a few ideas:
-Shadows
-Shadows of the Past
-Who Am I
-Chosen One
-A Shadow of Myself
etcetera, etcetera
What about:
*Shadow:Try to be A Hero
*Shadow:A Semi-Hero
*Shadow:Lost Hero
Those are also pretty good. What would this movie be about?
And to think that Chosen One is a song in the same game as Almost Dead. Wow.
This sonic is a great representation of shadow as it feels that he is confused having amnesia not knowing who he is as he try’s to figure out who he is wishing and saying he loves Maria and sorry he could not protect her saying he must save earth as that’s what he was made for giving deeper meaning
This song IS shadow
The sounds in this song are awesome.
1:25 - There is a nice moment to put in the song the chorus from
“Broken” (unused shth song)
This song spoke to me when I was an angsty 13 year old and it still speaks to me at 24... except on a deeper level. :l
1 mil soon?🔥
It's a shame the game itself wasn't very good, since the music is really great. Every 3D sonic game from SA1 to this had really great soundtracks. The wii/360/ps3 era games still had some good tracks but not as consistently good as the dreamcast through gamecube/ps2/xbox era's sonic games.
I think Unleashed was the last game to have a really memorable soundtrack
KnucklesV2 Generations has good music
perkypears no shit it had music from the past games
Sonic colors had a pog sound track too
@@KnucklesWTD I remember colors tho
Whenever any one here is depressed, do they kind of go through their favorite songs starting with this, and then slowly raise their spirits until they put Never Turn Back and then feel instantly better? That's what I do and it has helped me put the worst time in my life behind me.
This theme fits perfectly as neutral-hero theme since on that route's ending:
Spoiler
Shadow literally says that he is a experiment gone DEADLY wrong and that he shouldn't been created (sometimes i wish i was never born) and literally gets depressed after discovering that he was the one that caused the ARK disaster (and maybe he feels depressed too since, if i didn't understood bad, it was that ARK disaster that started the chain of events that led to maria dying)
Basically the song fits perfectly that route that ends up with shadow very depressed and him trying to make up for his errors even though he may never be forgiven because he's the only one who can do it and the lines that refer to that are: "sometimes i wish i was never born", "i'm the chosen one" and "you made me and i love you but i can't change what i have done" (even though the last one refers mainly to robotnik and maria and a little bit to shadow being the culprit of the ARK disaster)
How did this game flop? It was amazing.
It didn't flop, it just got bad reviews.
It got the wrong audience. Remember the players were used to high speed platforming
People were used to a sonic light hearted style and then there's cussing and guns and cool shit when sonic fans were use to sonic homing attacking and jumpin on enimies or the spindash or a random shield power up... I like this game though
Ninja of flames 0820 me too only high speed left is vehicle but i don't care
Ninja of flames 0820 I liked it. I just did not like the swearing in it.
Gives off a vibe of: A hero that saved the world, though, got rejected by what they saved.
I love this song.
I'm the chosen one
Yes you all. Btw You will not be giveing the rank of master
i don't care what you say, this game makes me emotional. in musical way, empathizing Shadow, also the nostalgic way. ah man i love this game and character.
I can actually also picture this being Anakins theme in star wars
Jon Snow I actually thought about this really hard and almost all of the lyrics work in that context.
Me: "Oof, I just bumped my head at the wall, but I'm okay"
*one hour later*
Me:
This game is good.
And it's soundtrack is underrated
finally a somewhat chill song
Wish I may, Wish I might
Be SOMEONE ELSE tonight
Sometimes I wish I was never born at all...
And I'll try to save the world
'cause in the end, I KNOW...
I'm the Chosen One!
YOU SUPPOSED TO BE THE CHOSEN ONE....
This song brings back mastalgia
I just noticed that down the left hand side it says "Ultimate Life Form"
sonic2kk is that what it’s said this hole time?
@@Dblock8998 and in the background you can also see dooms eye and black doom himself
This was the first ending song I unlocked in the game on the day I got it. I was so addicted to this song.
This is how I feel sometimes.
It sounds like a end credit song of a badass movie
This song never fails to be there on my playlist when I feel down.
If they play this in the next Sonic movie, I’m gonna flip.
No, it won't.
