      Oh shit, is this some kind of foreshadowing for the next TLOU Game?
      First game was: Normal (Survival apocaliptic horror which suits the first song)
      This game is based on: Revenge (AKA Anger)
      Next game: (Depression?)

    2:49...that entire growl sequence...FUCKING CHILLS.
    Earned a whole new fan.
    Never heard such a raspy, yet on tone growl in my life, and I'm 30 and have been deep into music as a hobby since I was a kid. Reminded me of a classic jazz musician, combined with grunge, combined with Brent Smith.
    Just blown away by that. Was playing a game and listening in the the background, and has to pause to play it back a few times. That sequence was amazing.

    I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
    And I fear no evil because I'm blind to it all
    And my mind and my gun they comfort me
    Because I know I'll kill my enemies when they come
    Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life
    And I will dwell on this earth forevermore
    Said, I walk beside the still waters and they restore my soul
    But I can't walk on the path of the right because I'm wrong
    Well, I came upon a man at the top of a hill
    Called himself the savior of the human race
    Said he come to save the world from destruction and pain
    But I said, "How can you save the world from itself?"
    'Cause I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
    And I fear no evil because I'm blind
    Oh, and I walk beside the still waters and they restore my soul
    But I know when I die my soul is damned
    Now I know when I die my soul is damned
    Now I know when I die my soul is damned

    This man is something else, like nothing I've ever heard in my life. His voice is so malleable and changable. That vibrato is something of legends... And his softer tones are just.... Idk but its amazing. Shawn James ladies and gentlemen a legend in the making, right before our eyes. You can't label his style, he doesnt have one... Real music, powerful music, life changing and saving music. This man is truly one of a kind.

      greenapplepear i proposed the idea before that it should’ve been an optional cutscene maybe, like the take on me one, and she sits to play guitar and plays through the valley.. Joel walks through the door and says “what’re you doing kiddo? You really gonna go through with this?” and we cut to a flashback where Joel is looking through a doorway and sees younger Ellie sat with a guitar before going on her first solo patrol or something like that, and we get a short cutscene of them talking and it ends on a real sweet moment where Joel asks what she’s been playing so she starts strumming through the valley, and when she finishes the song we cut back to present day with her holding the guitar and she looks up at the doorway to see no one there but the guitar makes her think of that memory with Joel and she says “I’m gonna find and I’m gonna kill every last one of them” as if Joel was there to hear it. And then continue on with the game

    LETRA EM PORTUGUÊS
    Eu caminho através do vale da sombra da morte
    E não temerei mal algum, pois sou cego para tudo isso
    Minha mente e minha arma me consolam
    Porque eu sei que vou matar meus inimigos quando eles vierem
    Certamente que a bondade e a misericórdia irão me acompanhar todos os dias da minha vida
    E eu habitarei esta terra eternamente
    Eu caminho junto às águas tranquilas e elas restauram a minha alma
    Mas eu não posso andar no caminho do certo, pois eu sou errado
    Bem deparei-me com um homem no topo de uma colina
    Ele chama a si mesmo de o salvador da raça humana
    Disse que veio para salvar o mundo da destruição e dor
    Mas eu disse: Como você pode salvar o mundo de si mesmo?
    Porque eu caminho através do vale da sombra morte
    E não temerei mal algum, porque eu sou cego
    Eu caminho junto das águas e elas restauram a minha alma
    Mas eu sei que quando eu morrer minha alma será condenada

    Last of us part 2: As I walk through the valley. The valley being Seattle. Of the shadow of death. Death lingering behind every corner of Seattle. I fear no evil because I'm blind to it all. Ellie's pursuit for vengeance blinds her from fear and consequence. The entire story is really just a reflection of the song, revealing Ellies reality and mentality.In my mind and my gun I find comfort because i know that they'll kill my enemies. Unable to walk on the path of the right because unfortunately all that Ellie does in the game is wrong and she isnt the good guy nor is she the bad guy. There is no such thing as either just people wanting what feels right for them.
