Why wasn't this in the game as the ending!? They had the chance to have Sonic Generations incorporate the time honored tradition of having an emotional vocal song as the ending, which was started by Sonic 06.
"You could've talked him down Rouge!" ".....Now you know there was ever only *one* person who could do that." "True, and she was lost to us....a long time ago."
Hot take but this is probably the best shadow theme period None of his other themes capture the sorrow of his character besides maybe chosen one and throw it all away, and those don’t really do it the same way love this song
its great, though i think my favorite shadow theme overall has to be the original shadow 05's all hail shadow i love how confident it is (sonic has really instilled this love in me of super upbeat and empowering final boss themes and i have such a bias towards it now LOL)
“Maria… this is what you wanted, right? This is my promise I made to you.” EDIT: 00:04 AM in the Philippines. 2025 is finally here. And with that, the Fearless Year of Shadow is over. Let’s keep on fighting with all of our wishes in each other’s hearts. Sayonara/Adios, Fearless Year of Shadow.
"The light shines even though the star is gone." - Shadow the Hedgehog Maria was Shadow's star. Even though tragedy took her away from him, her memory and influence remain.
It's supposed to be "Sayonara, Shadow the Hedgehog" though, as it's a direct callback to SA2, but the Shadow '05 localization people apparently didn't realize and messed that up.
@@TempGFCanada It's a translation of intent, not just direct words. It's "adios" in the Japanese to add a certain flavor that saying it in a less-common foreign language can have, so they put it in Spanish. In English, since "adios" doesn't ring the same as it's both more commonplace and other factors, they used "Sayonara" to achieve the same effect, thus translating the feeling rather than just copying the literal words. If the people localizing Shadow 05 realized it's supposed to be the same line in both games, they'd have translated it the same way as in SA2, "sayonara," but they butchered it and put it in pure English, completely botching the flavor the line is supposed to have by being "adios" in the Japanese and "sayonara" in the English.
Honestly, before Forces released and ended up going the way it did with the "fakes" plotline, I was convinced Shadow turned rogue because Infinite broke him with the Phantom Ruby and was dangling it in front of him as a way to get to another reality where he could change Maria and Gerald's fates without breaking the timeline.
If I had a nickel for everytime Casey Lee Williams sing a heartbreaking song from the prespective of a character who lost somone close to him and it shows the sadness of that character loss, I'll have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it strange that it happened twice.
An emotional anime music scene. Sega should definitely make a brand new Sonic anime series and add this song as part of a scene when things get emotional!
GOD I hate to be ungrateful but was anyone else expecting a second verse with different lyrics rather than just an instrumental? Still an amazing song, Casey and Jun both killed it
And I feel that the second vocal part IS a little bit worse, like less clear. It has the same sound as when you record the song in the studio (first half), and time later they perform live (second half). Am i the only one?
Shadow: For once in my life I am proud for who I am and what I am today. And a voice telling me that I’m Shadow The Hedgehog. I’m THE Shadow The Hedgehog.
Best song of the year of Shadow 💳💳💳💳💳 Now, please excuse me while I close my bedroom door (sobbing) 🎶hOw BrIgHt YoU sHiNeD oN yOuR oWnNnNnN yEt I rEmAiN aLoNeEeEeE🎶 😭😭😭
As both a Sonic fan and a RWBY fan I feel this is the greatest gift to end the Year of Shadow with, I’m glad I stuck with this franchise for as long as I did.
It can't just be me who thinks this sounds like a Silent Hill song (in the best way of course). Genuinlly hoping against hope that Casey Lee Williams for some reason decides to sing One More Soul To The Call or Hell Frozen Rain now.
This made me cry when i first listened to it in Sonic X Shadow generations: Dark Beginnings.. and it still makes me cry TwT This makes me want to get Sonic X Shadow Generations ngl
So, I loved rhis artist when she was wirh Roosterteeth doinf RWBY music. To the point even after I stopped watching the show I would listen to her music because it was typicaly the best part of the show anyways. Somehow, this song feels WAY more pssionate than her RT work and I am just hapoy her career livedon past that company's shut down.
Lyrics:
Can you hear me?
Do you still hear my voice?
It echoes back at me
“Why did you make that choice?”
You surround me
And your memory is clouded
By all things dark
I can't feel you there
You'll never leave me
I swear
It's just a nightmare
That won't end
So I pretend
That I'll see you again
And that I'll save you
From all the things I failed to
Now I'm without you
I can't forgive the wrongs I've done you
'Cause now you're gone forever
I remember
How bright you shined on your own
Yet I remain alone
♪
That I'll see you again
And that I'll save you
From all the things I failed to
Now I'm without you
I can't forgive the wrongs I've done you
'Cause now you're gone forever

How bright you shined on your own
Yet I remain alone

I love Casey Williams. I’ve always thought that her voice is just stunning.
She's been pretty mid, honestly.
When shadow said that the life he had was taken away long ago that hurt so much he yearns for it so much but he has to keep going...poor shadow...
