@@hurtsyy838 No, before they entered the science building Ellie asked what Joel wanted to be for a living and he said he wanted to be a singer. Then AFTER Joel was impaled Ellie said "If we make it out of this, you are so singing for me."
I think that moment really redeemed Joel’s character for me. He made his decision and he’s moved past any regret of it. Ellie will do the the same someday and forgive him for it all. He gave Ellie a chance for a better life that meant mean something more than a cure in the hands of a terrorist group.

@@papa_spanks2763 I'm pretty sure the dots on their faces are used to trace the facial movements for the animations. So the base for the facial animations is done thru mo-cap, but the tweaking and removal of any irregularities is done by hand.
@@sinapirmeh3940 actually back when the game was made they didn't use that technology, they used the recordings of the motion capture as a reference but otherwise the facial animation was all by hand
That's a major thing I don't think people realize, like ellies voice is basically Ashley's, so singing in character is just singing. Troy on the other hand, drops like 3 octaves and adds grit and gravel to his voice when he plays Joel, so singing in character is using altered vocals, and trying to stick in key, it's bloody fuckin hard to do.
The Sunset Chasers actually Ashley sings “worse” (in a sense where she tries to sound more like Ellie), and is actually a very different singer than this. They actually hired a vocal coach to help her sing “worse” (like Ellie).
You see when Ashley sang "I'm going there to see my mother" no more emotion than Ashley sang "I'm going there to see my father" then more emotion. They hint us all along 2 years ago. This game hit us hard and what a beautiful game it was.
It still is a beautiful game. I've played both not sure how many times. Going through TLOU 2 survivor mode. It's still just as good as the first time I played in 2013.
You probably should have posted this maybe 5 or 6 months after the games been out so that way everyone has a chance to get the game and finish it without having it ruined for them.
Devin Snow it’s fine I’m not trying to be mean I’ve already finished the game but I know what it feels like to have things spoiled Joel’s death was actually spoiled for me by my favorite youtuber so that kinda sucked.
[Verse 1 - Ashley Johnson] I'm just a poor, wayfaring stranger Traveling through this world of woes There is no sickness, no toil, no danger In that bright land to which I go [Bridge] I'm going there to see my mother She said she'd meet me when I come [Chorus] I'm just a-goin' over Jordan I'm just a-goin' over home [Verse 2 - Ashley Johnson] I know dark clouds will gather 'round me I know my way is rough and steep But beauteous fields lie just before me Where gods redeemed their vigils keep [Bridge] I'm going there to see my father I'm going there, no more to roam [Chorus] So I'm just a-goin' over Jordan I'm just a-goin' over home [Verse 2 - Troy Baker] I'll soon be free from earthly trials This body rests in the old churchyard I'll drop this cross of self-denial And go singing home to God [Bridge] I'm going there to see my savior I'm going there, no more to roam [Chorus] I'm just a-goin' over Jordan I'm just a-goin' over home [Chorus - Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker together] I'm just a-goin' over Jordan I'm just a-goin over home [Outro - Troy Baker] I'm just a-goin'
Not the story I expected, not the story I wanted, but a story that is just as Impactful as the first. Loved it so much. A perfect reflection of the first game.
I really like the idea of them singing in character, since they're both clearly better in real than what they're doing here, but by doing it in character we're getting more of these subtle imperfections. It's pretty neat.
2:45 I love how people are going from 'OMG it's Troy Baker and he's siniging OMGOMG' to 'damn that's f*cking deep and sad I better shut the hell up' in 3 seconds xD
Well Neil said that the TLOU was a love story and that part two was going to be a Hate story, a revenge story. So yes I expect some crude emotions in part II
no autotune. emotional voice cracks from ashley. this is honestly just amazing. this song made me cry. so beautiful. and such a beautiful rendition too.

That part actually left me with the will of hearing Joel singing. Now, through to this video, I know. Thank you so much!
Imagine though. At this point in time the crowd had so little info on the game while these two knew everything. So they probably already knew this was in gonna be in the credits and the meaning behind it 😭
@@josephfabriziodawson5566 I don't know what to believe anymore. In the reveal trailer Joel was with Ellie on at least one scene on Seattle, and in the game he was replaced by Dina. I don't know what Druckmann was thinking anymore.
It's so surreal to hear Joel and Ellie's voice coming from different faces. But that's just how impressive Troy and Ashley are in their voice acting skills.
@@coolestburrito3487 lol if you havent experienced it in any way than how are you going to criticize it in any way .People hate it because its the cool thing to do so when they dont know a single thing about the game and how the story is told and instead they will just be sheep andjust follow what their fave youtube said rather than looking into it in any way lol its just dumb
What's crazy is that when they performed this, they already knew Joel was dying in the next game. Which makes the emotion/sadness from their performance all the more powerful. And yet the audience had no clue at this point.
@@saeedmounir6135 joel was everything I wish my father coulve have been. So in loosing him I feel I lost a dad as well. This whole game was just so immersive and really nailed it in place with makeing u feel like you were surviving with joel and ellie. Its one of those games that you experience and are changed after playing. I'll always hold a very near and dear spot in my heart not just for the game but for the characters and the story as well.
Their voices are in our souls now, you will hear this song or something they say years from now and it'll bring back all the memories of playing the last of us 1 & 2 and you'll break a little inside but be overwhelmed with the happiness that you got to be a part of it
Damn Ashley Johnson's singing voice is so light and angelic while Troy Baker's singing voice is so dark and mysterious I love it. Not only do they make the perfect video game duo but they also make one perfect and awesome singing duo as well.
tlou2 is trash while tlou1 is good. IN tlou2 ellie loses everything from her father figure to her ability to play guitar. They did'nt show anything to do with her immunity and at the end abby gets lev like joel got ellie. And the worst of all, ellie goes to kill abby who would've died if she would'nt go there and saved her then abby bites her finger off and ellie forgives her. Absolutely trash sequel
@@hexcodmyt I actually think the end of part 2 is more hopeful. She learns to let go of her grief over Joel and while she has lost everything, the final walk at the end probably shows her returning to Jackson which shows that she still has a home to go back to. So yeah I like it a lot
@@bug688 part 1 actually had a lot of potential, but they destroyed it. It could've literally been about making their own vaccine without killing ellie whether than making it about a stupid revenge which only shows complete loss of ellie and she doesn't even take her revenge.
@@AB-qc3qe having an OPINION is okay but this guy comments all over the video comments section and bitches about how bad it is and makes people mad for no reason whatsoever. He is not expressing an opinion he is just ruining the vibe if you don't like it just shut up comment it once if you have to but stop ruining other people's days
Smart Dude yeah, that’s the point. He got death threats for making a good story, but not having respect...for characters...fictional characters...like wtf.
Troy Baker is a vocal GOD. The fact that he can not only change his voice repeatedly to fit different characters but he can SING in their voice as well, he gets all the brownie points 🙌🙌
Same. I can understand why people didn’t like how Joel died and didn’t get a heroic death. I personally think it’s coz we are so used to our characters getting “heroic” deaths or not dying at all coz they somehow survive everything and when they do die like that it’s a shock 😂 I genuinely loved it. ❤️
@@jammycammy7557 the biggest problem is people don't seem to understand that Joel wasn't the hero AT ALL. If anything he was the villain. A relatable villain, but still a villain none the less. I'd even go as far to say that he DESERVED what happened within the context of the overall narrative. It just worked too well to not do it.
Spoiler warning: what makes me mad is she lost everything her girl her old life essentially her dad all over again and even her ability to play guitar which was one of the few things she had to remember joel by ontop of that the emotional trauma of killing all those people just to lose those fingers and then let the killer go
The reason why she let her get away is because she thought of Joel and that he wouldn’t have wanted her to do that to Abby don’t get me wrong Abby deserves to die but that just means that part three could be different and she ends up killing Abby
That's why the scene from the farmhouse in part 1 hits even harder now after having played part 2. Ellie - ''Everyone I have cared for has either died or left me. Everyone fucking except for you. So don't tell me I would be safer with someone else, cause the truth is I would just be more scared''
ellie began part 1 with no one; no parents, no family, no friends... she develops relationships, a father figure, a significant other and a son, and ellie ends part 2 with no one once again. i’m sobbing over this.
She chose revenge over a good family. I'd say she kinda deserved to lose what she forsake. You people are just mad cause you like Ellie too much. Abby had her own justice and she executed that. If you'd have played Abby in the TLOU 1, your opinion would have been different.
@@ziyadsel the game we got shouldve been part 3 and part 2 shouldve taken place in the 4 year time skip, with the truth about ellie and the fireflies being the main beat of the story also introduce abby in part 2 to get us used to her before what she wouldve done in part 3.
When Ashley Sings the "I'm going there to see my father" part, it sounds like there is pain in her voice. Im scared that somethings gonna happen to Joel now ;-;
I know, boss. That whole game hits way too hard, honestly. It was an experience to be certain but jesus. Did Naughty Dog have to fucking crush us? Like everyone else, I wish we got sunshine and rainbows but we sure fucking didn’t.
And I thought 'Through the valley' was the only song sung by Ellie x) Glad I was mistaken. Here are the lyrics but I have trouble writing Joel's part (I'm French). Can someone correct me/complete please? I’m just a poor wayfaring stranger Traveling through this world of woe There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger In that bright land to which I go I'm goin' there to see my mother She said she’d meet me when I come I’m just goin' over Jordan I’m just goin' over home I know dark clouds will gather ‘round me I know my way is rough and steep But beau-teous fields lie just before me Where God’s redeemed their vigils keep I'm goin' there to see my father I'm goin' there, no more to roam So I’m just goin' over Jordan I’m just goin' over home I'll soon be free from earth’s trials This body will rest in the old… I'll drop this cross of self-denial And go see ... I'm goin' there to see my Savior I'm goin' there, no more to roam I'm just goin' over Jordan I'm just goin' over home I'm just goin' over Jordan I'm just goin' over home
I belive it goes like this: "This body rest in the ol' churchyard" And, "And go singing home to God" Also, I'm positive the correct lyrics are "earthy trials" instead of "earth's trials" but nonetheless I'd say its pretty accurate ^-^
i love how they didn’t use their real voices when singing this song. they wanted to portray ellie and joel through this song and you can tell they tried very hard to not break character. wow.
I remember when Joel said he wanted to be a singer :')
CRII
For sure it was in the university

@@warhead-2268 thats wrong...she lost her father when she was 16.
I'm not seeing Ashley and Troy, I'm seeing Ellie and Joel.
ian projemo same
I think we all are
Well I'm not sure about troy (cause I've never actually played the game) but Ashley is actually singing as Ellie. Her actual singing voice is much more refined.
Riley Steidel Troy is singing as Joel I believe, not as Troy
Yes
troy looks so much joel with the beard and black hair
nobody survives even one bit He does his mo-cap too so i assume they used his face too.
back when it was being made he looked like a kid, now look at him, he's become what he played.
@@sinapirmeh3940 actually all face animations are animated by hand and they only mo cap the bodies
@@papa_spanks2763 I'm pretty sure the dots on their faces are used to trace the facial movements for the animations. So the base for the facial animations is done thru mo-cap, but the tweaking and removal of any irregularities is done by hand.
@@sinapirmeh3940 actually back when the game was made they didn't use that technology, they used the recordings of the motion capture as a reference but otherwise the facial animation was all by hand
The beauty about Troy singing is not just that he's a great singer? but is also the face that he's keeping that old man voice of Joel too..Outstanding
Edward Kenway he was actually in a band before voice acting. Hes playing as joel
That's a major thing I don't think people realize, like ellies voice is basically Ashley's, so singing in character is just singing. Troy on the other hand, drops like 3 octaves and adds grit and gravel to his voice when he plays Joel, so singing in character is using altered vocals, and trying to stick in key, it's bloody fuckin hard to do.
The Sunset Chasers actually Ashley sings “worse” (in a sense where she tries to sound more like Ellie), and is actually a very different singer than this. They actually hired a vocal coach to help her sing “worse” (like Ellie).
@@termonic2542 I love the fact that you put "worse" in parenteses because most think Ellie sings horrible and im like "bruh"
Edward the fuck you doing here werent you fucking murdered in your own damn house
You see when Ashley sang "I'm going there to see my mother" no more emotion than Ashley sang "I'm going there to see my father" then more emotion. They hint us all along 2 years ago. This game hit us hard and what a beautiful game it was.
Also Ashley Johnson lost her real life father at a young age.
Trash

It still is a beautiful game. I've played both not sure how many times. Going through TLOU 2 survivor mode. It's still just as good as the first time I played in 2013.
@@markgill7138 That’s crazy that you were TLOUII in 2013, when the rest of us were just playing the newly released first game😉
The fact that Troy’s part of the song foreshadows Joels death is sending chills down my spine
You probably should have posted this maybe 5 or 6 months after the games been out so that way everyone has a chance to get the game and finish it without having it ruined for them.
Tyler Tatum ya your right man I truly was not trying to spoil the games but I unintentionally did so my apologies
Devin Snow it’s fine I’m not trying to be mean I’ve already finished the game but I know what it feels like to have things spoiled Joel’s death was actually spoiled for me by my favorite youtuber so that kinda sucked.

[Verse 1 - Ashley Johnson]
I'm just a poor, wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woes
There is no sickness, no toil, no danger
In that bright land to which I go
[Bridge]
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
[Chorus]
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home
[Verse 2 - Ashley Johnson]
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But beauteous fields lie just before me
Where gods redeemed their vigils keep
[Bridge]
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there, no more to roam
[Chorus]
So I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home
[Verse 2 - Troy Baker]
I'll soon be free from earthly trials
This body rests in the old churchyard
I'll drop this cross of self-denial
And go singing home to God
[Bridge]
I'm going there to see my savior
I'm going there, no more to roam
[Chorus]
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home
[Chorus - Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker together]
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin over home
[Outro - Troy Baker]
I'm just a-goin'

@@aaayyygendercaptain obvious is that you?
you should hear him sing in Pagan voice..
I really like the idea of them singing in character, since they're both clearly better in real than what they're doing here, but by doing it in character we're getting more of these subtle imperfections. It's pretty neat.

Best comment so far
truer words were never spoken
Oh my god. They are singing with such emotion and this makes me feel like this game will be even more heartbreaking.
The Ghost of Winterfell the most recent trailer made me cry so we know the game is going to HURT
@@Emily-di6um in 2020 im gonna flood my room with tears 😂😂
Well Neil said that the TLOU was a love story and that part two was going to be a Hate story, a revenge story. So yes I expect some crude emotions in part II
I'm already heartbroken, without even putting my hands on the game, 2 delays and now indefinitely.
Hope you like golf
no autotune. emotional voice cracks from ashley. this is honestly just amazing. this song made me cry. so beautiful. and such a beautiful rendition too.
"Im going there to see my father" whyyy im not crying youre crying.
brooooo u could hear her voice crack i think she was legit abt to cry
I remember playing the game and getting to the part in which Joel and Ellie are riding the horse and he tells her that when he was younger, he wanted to be a singer, and how right afterwards Ellie asked him to sing and he rejected.
That part actually left me with the will of hearing Joel singing. Now, through to this video, I know.
Thank you so much!
He sings in The Last of Us 2. It rips your heart out too 😭
I hope this becomes a cut scene in the game.
That would be amazing!!!!
Make it the intro song with all the credits.
End credits song
yeah no
The end credits of TLOU2
Did anyone else think it looked like they were both crying at one point (they already knew what was gonna happen😢)
Imagine though. At this point in time the crowd had so little info on the game while these two knew everything. So they probably already knew this was in gonna be in the credits and the meaning behind it 😭
Joseph Fabrizio Dawson ☹️😢
@@josephfabriziodawson5566 I don't know what to believe anymore. In the reveal trailer Joel was with Ellie on at least one scene on Seattle, and in the game he was replaced by Dina. I don't know what Druckmann was thinking anymore.

A much brighter version of Part 2.
It's so surreal to hear Joel and Ellie's voice coming from different faces. But that's just how impressive Troy and Ashley are in their voice acting skills.
I needed to watch this after what happened to Joel, my heart hurts.

What's crazy is that when they performed this, they already knew Joel was dying in the next game. Which makes the emotion/sadness from their performance all the more powerful. And yet the audience had no clue at this point.
One of the worst creative decisions in video game history
@@NickzAndMikz killing joel is definitely not inherently bad, it could have been excecuted better but its insanely overhated

they both are ... she is way better than she is in this song .... they had her sing more shitty to sound like ellie they both pull it of wicked cool
Hearing Troy hit that high note, thinking of Joel just giving his heart and soul into the song, that shook me, gave me genuine goosebumps.

@@saeedmounir6135 joel was everything I wish my father coulve have been. So in loosing him I feel I lost a dad as well. This whole game was just so immersive and really nailed it in place with makeing u feel like you were surviving with joel and ellie. Its one of those games that you experience and are changed after playing. I'll always hold a very near and dear spot in my heart not just for the game but for the characters and the story as well.
*The sorrow in their eyes , they knew it , this made me cry all over*
Anybody else cry after hearing Joel’s voice after playing part 2? Or was it just me?
where both men and women cried
The fact that Troy is able to put on a voice and sing absolutely flawlessly at the same time is astonishing. Bravo. 👏
Their voices are in our souls now, you will hear this song or something they say years from now and it'll bring back all the memories of playing the last of us 1 & 2 and you'll break a little inside but be overwhelmed with the happiness that you got to be a part of it
Yes
Damn Ashley Johnson's singing voice is so light and angelic while Troy Baker's singing voice is so dark and mysterious I love it. Not only do they make the perfect video game duo but they also make one perfect and awesome singing duo as well.
*Ellie sings*
Random person: "Omg, her voice is so beautiful."
Joel: "Hold my shiv."
Nomi Kha he didn’t wtf
@Nomi Kha Lol, I'm so confused.😅
i ll miss you my hero, rest in peace. we will always remember you...
Such talented actors. Singing in character like that, I've never seen or heard anything like it. This is so brilliant.
We know what he meant in those lyrics. Part 2 was a masterpiece in my opinion but man it got me emotional
I've never been moved by a game but fuck this killed me 😂
tlou2 is trash while tlou1 is good. IN tlou2 ellie loses everything from her father figure to her ability to play guitar. They did'nt show anything to do with her immunity and at the end abby gets lev like joel got ellie. And the worst of all, ellie goes to kill abby who would've died if she would'nt go there and saved her then abby bites her finger off and ellie forgives her. Absolutely trash sequel
@@hexcodmyt That is the most child brained summary of the game I've ever read lol you either didn't play it or have the emotional IQ of a sock
@@hexcodmyt I actually think the end of part 2 is more hopeful. She learns to let go of her grief over Joel and while she has lost everything, the final walk at the end probably shows her returning to Jackson which shows that she still has a home to go back to. So yeah I like it a lot
@@bug688 part 1 actually had a lot of potential, but they destroyed it. It could've literally been about making their own vaccine without killing ellie whether than making it about a stupid revenge which only shows complete loss of ellie and she doesn't even take her revenge.
The fact that Troy sang this in Joel's voice is soo fricken cool and impressive
Coming back to this just makes joels death hurt more.
I feel that
Josh Shedden it really does ☹️
😔😔😔
Felt that.
Maybe edit it and write something like "spoiler alert" at the top of this comment. I'm glad i finished the game before reading this.
anyone else cried and sang along when this played in the credits?
I don't think a lot of people listened to it honestly. It should have been a cutscene. But yes it was awesome in the credits.
I just cried when it start to play
I sure did
@@Tehnsi why
Folks who got riled up with this game because of what happens to Joel, don’t seem to understand that as works of art, he & Ellie will live forever.
This is so much better to listen after beating the game
They actually put this song in the end credits... This cover is so good!
close your eyes if you want the ultimate last of us experience .
DEAMN RIGHT !!!
Troy Baker’s voice is so calming!
After play the last of us 2, this song really gets more emotion.
So we've finally heard Joel sing!

And like you said, he was truely a legend for all gamers
He totally had it coming though
coasterboy456 No he never
Harpreet Mangat boy, he got death threats.
Smart Dude yeah, that’s the point. He got death threats for making a good story, but not having respect...for characters...fictional characters...like wtf.
This song better be on the official soundtrack so I can get it on the iTunes! Troy and Ashley is my favourite duo next to Troy and Nolan.
this hits differently now
Ashley Johnson is soooo talented and beautiful... she deserves an Oscar for her performance in TLOU2 🙌🙌
Oscar ain't enough to do Ashley , laura Bailey and troy justice ....
It's The Oscars have an academy award for best computer game, actor, actress.... Etc.
Totally agree
Troy Baker is a vocal GOD. The fact that he can not only change his voice repeatedly to fit different characters but he can SING in their voice as well, he gets all the brownie points 🙌🙌
Funny how they told her to sing not as good to fit the character of Ellie more. Still amazing
RIP Joel miller we will always love you 😭❤️
Here after finishing the game and after all the hate it got. I loved it.
Same. I can understand why people didn’t like how Joel died and didn’t get a heroic death. I personally think it’s coz we are so used to our characters getting “heroic” deaths or not dying at all coz they somehow survive everything and when they do die like that it’s a shock 😂 I genuinely loved it. ❤️
@@jammycammy7557 the biggest problem is people don't seem to understand that Joel wasn't the hero AT ALL. If anything he was the villain. A relatable villain, but still a villain none the less. I'd even go as far to say that he DESERVED what happened within the context of the overall narrative. It just worked too well to not do it.
@@spacejunk8978 its not just about joel dying. Game by it self was very boring,0 story compared to 1st part
Coming back after the leaks, imaginibg what couod have been..fuck ama miss you joel
Spoiler warning: what makes me mad is she lost everything her girl her old life essentially her dad all over again and even her ability to play guitar which was one of the few things she had to remember joel by ontop of that the emotional trauma of killing all those people just to lose those fingers and then let the killer go
YES! i was so sad for her - she threw it all away, and for what?! SO ABBY CAN GET AWAY?! like i really hate that ending. i have so many questions
The reason why she let her get away is because she thought of Joel and that he wouldn’t have wanted her to do that to Abby don’t get me wrong Abby deserves to die but that just means that part three could be different and she ends up killing Abby
That's why the scene from the farmhouse in part 1 hits even harder now after having played part 2.
Ellie - ''Everyone I have cared for has either died or left me. Everyone fucking except for you. So don't tell me I would be safer with someone else, cause the truth is I would just be more scared''
ellie began part 1 with no one; no parents, no family, no friends... she develops relationships, a father figure, a significant other and a son, and ellie ends part 2 with no one once again. i’m sobbing over this.
She chose revenge over a good family. I'd say she kinda deserved to lose what she forsake. You people are just mad cause you like Ellie too much. Abby had her own justice and she executed that. If you'd have played Abby in the TLOU 1, your opinion would have been different.
This is when I knew Joel was going to die because that part Troy sang was not part of the original song it was only about him dying
The last of us 2 could have been so much more than this, what a shame... Fuck that Abby.
@@ziyadsel the game we got shouldve been part 3 and part 2 shouldve taken place in the 4 year time skip, with the truth about ellie and the fireflies being the main beat of the story also introduce abby in part 2 to get us used to her before what she wouldve done in part 3.
It's been fucking years and I still come back to this video.

And I thought 'Through the valley' was the only song sung by Ellie x) Glad I was mistaken.

I’m just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm goin' there to see my mother
She said she’d meet me when I come
I’m just goin' over Jordan
I’m just goin' over home
I know dark clouds will gather ‘round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But beau-teous fields lie just before me
Where God’s redeemed their vigils keep
I'm goin' there to see my father
I'm goin' there, no more to roam
So I’m just goin' over Jordan
I’m just goin' over home
I'll soon be free from earth’s trials
This body will rest in the old…
I'll drop this cross of self-denial
And go see ...
I'm goin' there to see my Savior
I'm goin' there, no more to roam
I'm just goin' over Jordan
I'm just goin' over home
I'm just goin' over Jordan
I'm just goin' over home
I belive it goes like this:
"This body rest in the ol' churchyard"
And,
"And go singing home to God"
Also, I'm positive the correct lyrics are "earthy trials" instead of "earth's trials" but nonetheless I'd say its pretty accurate ^-^
