I was riding around the Arasaka Waterfront in the Militech Hellhound when this came over the radio. I started driving around the perimeter and obliterating the guards with the missiles. Didn’t help with my depression, but it felt good
@@somebriishgeneral.2385 me absolutely everytime i hear the song, Bro after jackies death mission i got in a car and it was playing then played when i went too his wake 😞
used to bop this while driving in nc like "damn what a good song", and now im just gonna be crying driving out to the middle of the badlands to stare at the sky.
David kept his promise to his mom by making it to the top of Arasaka, He kept his promise to Maine by inheriting his fists, and he kept his promise to Lucy by getting her to the moon. When I realized this I couldn't help but shed a tear...
The tragedy is that David like others never really communicated their real dreams and feelings. His mom wanted him safe and to realize his potential. Lucy wanted no harm to come to David and to be with him far away from the horrors of the system symbolized as the moon. Maine didn't expect David to follow him and wanted him to stand down from the life, but he stepped up because he was David's father in the end and David is a wunderkind character. Rebecca also loved David and her dream became to make David happy and to keep him from the edge despite him not loving her back romantically. So the end hits even harder - each of our dreams are hollow if they don't bring along your loved ones so the dreams we tell ourselves and each other are oftentimes lies.
@@VictorGabriel-uh8ne David realized his dream, he wanted to live his life on his terms. and in the end he lived and died on his own choices. he didn't care about becoming a legend he just wanted to be free of others dreams or plans for him. be his mother's dream of a corpo life, arasakas test subject, or even escaping with lucy to the moon those were not his dreams.
@@devonkim6845 Well put. Its also why i love the presentation. It teach us to be open and said it honestly when we wanted something. Which is irony because im the type to seldom communicate what i want lol. But can relate very much to David.
"You didn't take me to the moon, but you were there with me." "You were right. David reached the top of Arasaka Tower." "I regret not finishing our conversation." "You were the only family I ever had."
I'm glad I took it like nothing. I've been through to much tragedies, but still very sad nonetheless. Very sad scenario. Poor David...... a young homie just wanting to live right, forced into bullshit.
David grew up with a loving mom, lost her but then found a family and a girlfriend that gave him dreams and goal in life. Having that kind of connection inside the fucked-up Night City is a miracle in itself, which makes him really special.
This song hits so much harder after finishing Edgerunners. Beautiful show even though we all knew how it would end. I got into Cyberpunk 2077 a month ago and I love it to pieces!
@@jonathanlanders1597 lmao bro i feel the exact same bruh i want more like i’m actually feeling like shit cuz it’s over bruh i just can’t i gotta reply cyberpunk again dude that show was so good
I WAS SO ANYGRY. they use it every time ur like awhh that's cute they are bonding in this night city even though its terrible and THEY DO THAT GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Just finished EdgeRunner and I loved it. This has been one of my favourite songs of the game since I played it back in 2020 and hearing it in the show elevated the feels so much.
I thought they used the song in the show cause it was a good song recognizable from the game. If you hear the lyrics it has nothing to do with Lucy and David's relationship.
A year later and it still makes me feel like going to bed. not sleeping, not closing my eyes, just sitting there, thinking about how bad that show hit me in the feels.
That feeling when you're driving, the night falls, and the lights of Night City light up. This song comes on, and you're caught up in the feels and sheer beauty of everything this game has the potential to be. This song is preem af...
Preem indeed. I wish i spent more time just cruising and exploring the city. Finished 1st playthrough at about 60hrs. Planned on doing more after main story. Doesn't feel right for me now, chapter is closed for this character. 2nd playthrough it will be.
David ending up fulfilling his promises to everyone. The sad part is how he fulfilled them. His mom wanted him at the top of Arasaka Tower, and he made it there; in pieces, with hardly any sanity left. He inherited Maine's hands like he swore, but he didn't realize that Maine never wanted David to throw away his life by being an Edgerunner. He got Lucy to the moon, but what hurt the most is that by then, Lucy didn't care about the moon; she cared about Daivd, and so her being on the moon meant nothing if David wasn't there with her.
The irony is that Lucy is now living out David's dream. His last wish was for her to live and go on to accomplish her own dreams. It's perhaps a hollow victory, but as we saw from the way Lucy's own dream changed, perhaps she will eventually go on to find fulfillment and even happiness, completing David's wish.
@@zerotrig8331 Nah bruh it was just the doctor saying ur broken arm is healed, then when ur card declines it played a random viral video of someone getting beat up to imply the doc broke ur arm. Whoever told you that is fucked in the head
The moment V and SONGBIRD are traveling to the spaceport and you turn on the radio ,then this song is start playing. I already know I'll be with her until the end. BEST EMOTIONAL MOMENT IN THE GAME.
It would have been amazing that when David went to the Afterlife, he would said his drink to Claire. It is in the game, but we didnt saw it saying it in the show.
Yeah, rare for anime adaptations to western stuff like this to be really good AND canon. Take the trigger episode of starwars visions for example... no clue if those are canon but trigger didnt even try to contain themselves to the internal world while with this you can tell they had a MUCH bigger respect for the source and stuff
@@HG-bh2gj that and of I'm not mistaken the david Martinez in the afterlife was around as early as 1.0... could have been a fake thing I've heard as I never played 2077 that early but yes it is very much canon
“Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is an unforgettable experience that hits hard emotionally. It’s more than just an anime-it’s a story about love, sacrifice, and the brutal cost of chasing dreams in a cruel world. The animation is stunning, the characters feel so real, and the soundtrack perfectly captures the vibe of a futuristic dystopia. It’s beautiful, heartbreaking, and leaves a lasting impression. A must-watch for anyone who loves stories that aren’t afraid to show the darker sides of life.”
This song relates to David and Lucy’s relationship so well it’s hard to believe it was written two years ago for the game. The lyrics basically telling a story of accepting that it’ll never work with someone you really care about, just..damn.
Loved the anime. David was an idiot. That’s why when you pick up the BD in the game it ends with “a cautionary tale David didn’t pick up on, will you?” He thought too much of himself, and he did lose himself. Meeting Lucy again gave him a moment of clarity, but he was already gone before that happened.
@@dogmilk9651 Yep, he destroyed himself trying to fulfill other people’s dreams, exactly what Lucy said she didn’t want to happen. I don’t think he’s an idiot though, I think he bought into the same delusion of success that every edgerunner did. There’s a reason the “happiest” endings for anyone in the game and show is getting the fuck out of Night City. Whether you’re a merc or corpo doesn’t matter. Like Judy said - the city will always win.
I'm not ashamed to say I cried at the end of the show. David kept his promise to Lucy and she made it to the moon, and for a moment she saw David as what she remembers his happiest. I'm not going to be emotionally okay for a while after this
@@mondsgesandter when Lucy kissed him to get rid of his cyberpsychosis mid air while the lyric:” you know you didn’t lose your self control” plays, literally fucking chills
I've heard that edgerunners project was started around 2019. Could be that it was made for anime then used in proper spots in game, that was released first
@@Ric_Vicious And we never did. Even literally facing against a moon station with a pistol, with Never Fade Away echoing which actually made me emotional. Damn.
Funny because 90% of the comments associate this song with a sad feeling, but me, I associate it with the beautiful feeling I got booting the game back in 2021 and seeing all the neon lights in Kabuki while this song is playing. I was blown away.. So even after watching the anime and crying so much in the ending, the first thing I remember when I hear this song is that great feeling that this game gave me and continues to give me.
@@kay_wal0013 yea my brother played this song for me and then he started crying and said I wouldn’t understand till I watch it and i watched it and we both was crying 😭
0:39 Hits especially hard because it makes me think about how David didn’t lose himself in the end. Went out with a bang and a smile on his face, like a legend, while simultaneously keeping his promise to Lucy to make her dream come true and get her to the moon… Man… can’t believe I’m actually depressed and teary over a group of fictional characters.
I don’t think david was able to fulfill any of the promises he made, he was too busy trying to fulfill other peoples dreams and conpletely destroyed himself in the process
@@hiidenkiuas He wasn't going to be able to save Lucy without getting into that skeleton once she was kidnapped, and he wasn't planning on living for much longer regardless. Once Ep.8 started with him killing an innocent woman and continued with Lucy leaving him yet again without explanation as he's thinking they should probably separate, he's resigned himself to fight just a bit longer to be able to get her out of Night City if it's the last thing he can do. It's similar to how his mother only worked and hustled her ass off to try and make sure he could make it as a Corpo.
@@shoobzy3431 Smasher even showed him some respect, finishing him off instead of letting him be turned into a construct, like Johnny with Soulkiller/Mikoshi.
its crazy that back in 2021 this song was just a simple NORMAL song but in 2022 its a song that has left millions of people with unrecoverable emotions
@@TheParez no it doesn't. There just wasn't anything to assign this song to that would evoke emotions. Back in 21 this was just a normal soundtrack song. 22? Became the anthem of edgerunners
@@Akuzhir you just voiced your own opinion how you viewed/assigned this song. Just because some songs/tracks become popular doesnt mean they arent being listened to b4??? get your head out of your ass.
Even now, after all the time this song still hits hard af. For everyone it hits different: somebody is in tears, somebody is in a sad smile, BUT not a single person is emotionless. Pure masterpiece combination of a song + trigger moment. Giant thanks for everyone who worked on this, they are a giant experts of their job.
let's be real David did some terrible things by the end of the show... Getting smashed by Smasher should've been karma for all he did.. but man it still hurts
@@jooot_6850 True. Literally the wisest people in his life were Lucy, Rebecca and his ripperdoc telling him to chill on the chrome. He didn't listen. For Maine, it was Dorio and she would've done the same for David had she survived Maine's recklessness.
@@jooot_6850 Terrible things? Prior to killing that woman, he did everything in order to protect his crew and keep them going. And even killing that woman wasn't particularly his fault, he was undergoing cyberpsychosis by that point. You have to keep in mind that when Maine died, David was only 17. I dunno about you but I'd sure as hell mess up as much as he did if that happened to me at 17.
@@fjlsfljsalfkjasdflka on top of that, he felt guilt for the woman and his death was on behalf of those that he lost and feels guilt over and his death also allowed Lucy and Falco to be free with more than enough money between them while ensuring that Lucy got her dream. he's not perfect but he wasn't a complete monster and did his best to keep it like that even in his final moments.
It's sad to know that David didn't lived up for his dreams. Instead, he lived to fulfil others dreams. Even though it is comforting to see that he reached the top for his mother, kept running for Maine and sent Lucy to the moon. None of this in the end was his dream. It feels like he never had free will to begin with.
That's exactly it. Night City is a city of dreams, except reality never reaches those dreams. You live the dream as much as you can, until it crashes back into reality.

The funny thing is Even before Edgerunners, back in 2020 during my first playthrough of 2077, this song always gave me a “sad but happy” feeling. Whenever this song plays on the radio in game, I just stop driving and take in the scenery. Then Edgerunners comes along and just propels this song to the moon.
Sad thing is, I can't even see the moon clearly anymore. I think I did something to my eyes by staring at screens so much, so now it looks blurry. I need long distance glasses now, but it doesn't mean I still can't try
He lived as an edgerunner and set an example for generations to follow an unbreakable code and never let NC beat you down into betraying into your humanity and friends. It is the happiest ending you can expect in Night City
The core of the story of the protagonist of Cyberpunk Edgerunners fits this song to well. You will never forget this song after watching the show. It's too beautiful, meanwhile too sad
The Anime was really something else. Its been a long time since a series hooked me this much and the Story, aesthetics, Animations, music - everything was just so beautiful. The end especially, im still kinda caught in emotions and lost for words - what a great project of Studio Trigger.
Trigger never ceases to amaze really. netflix either goes balls out perfection (Castlevania/Arcane/this) or it's a dumpsterfire. there' are very few middle grounds. But god damn I'll take a terrible bebop run if it gives me something like this.
@@xxstar-bluesxx He didn't, he was in control when he was out of meds and got Lucy out. Also Adam said he would make for a good construct at that point, because he proved himself special by overcoming cyberpsychosis, he was just beaten. But alas, he knew it was the time to go out.
@@danielgeronimo5538 Don't think he overcame it. It's just that so many cybernatics have been disconnected from him that the strain on the brain was gone.
-Shows up out of nowhere -Anime overall advertises the game and does it in a really good way -Characters are nicely written -References to the actual game -Makes you start loving the characters -Kills almost all of them, including the main character in a span of 5 episodes -Gives you depression -Refuses to elaborate any further
bro im like on the part where I KNOW Maine is gonna die i KNOW hes going to, and i refuse to because i treat Maine as a father figure, and i cant be having that taken away from me
Debatable. Lucy was just tits and talking about missing the main character. Despite them having one positive interaction which was fake and a plot to betray him. Just saying Lucy and Mc went on no dates. No real development. Same thing with the girl and her brother, no developments before he dies to show the rivalry. The short lady has the most development by far most were half cooked.
@@Daniel-uv6gs It makes defeating Adam Smasher all the more satisfying because you're not just avenging Johnny but also David, Rebecca, and everyone else he's killed.
@@AgentSkidZ Fr, i cant wait to replay the game when they are finished fixing and updating the game. Defeating Adam Smasher is going to be personal next play-through.
Night City remembers people for how they died and not what they did before that. It's safe to say David easily goes down as one of the most legendary cyberpunks in Night City. He battled MilTech, Arasaka, and it took Adam Smasher to finally put him down. The best part? David died human.
well, he now has a drink at the Afterlife, so he is indeed a certified legend. Funnily enough... it's carbonated. Never can get a happy ending in Night City, huh.
@@dowatyoudo Everyone's gotta get in one last gut-punch, whether it be for revenge/spite, or a friendly/playful jab. It's either to people who you pissed off, or your closest friends that give that jab. I'd happily take a beating from my homies, because they'd do it out of love and respect for a friend.
@@prismanic24 One can only hope she moves on with David still in her heart. Also, hopefully she finds out that Smasher is dead after V is finished with him
Honestly, I feel like this show breathed new life into the Cyberpunk world as a whole. I’m so happy that more people are discovering it. It’s fucking beautiful. We are all Chooms ❤
I think what makes cyberpunk so good is it feels like you can really become a legend in night city and your V is really your chance to step into a world that is at least metaphorically alive.
@@nervun8097 the gameplay must be a far cry better than on launch because I picked up the game after watching the anime and am blown away by how much fun it is
The game was a broken hot mess of bugs, glitches, it was unplayable at times, false promises so many false promises on features. So when the game came out people shat on it because they lied. Even to this day there’s so many false promises that still haven’t been delivered but the game definitely is good just not great like it should’ve been. It rightfully deserves praise for them fixing it but they did kinda burn lots of peoples trust
@@imbadatgames568 gameplay is still the same as launch, stiff and janky in comparison to industry standards, with RPG mechanics so lacklustre they've went on to scrub any mention of the game being an "RPG" a few months before release from all storefronts and called it an "open-world, action-adventure" instead. Only recently have they decided to describe their game as an RPG again (as of feburary 2022, over a year after the initial release). No amount of tear-jerking scenes from an anime can recover the credibility that CDPR used to have.
Me at the beginning of 2020: "Looks like another year for us, hope it will be a good one!" Me at the end of 2022: "I'm running out of 'it is what it is' to give, fucking stop it already."
In a weird way, This song has a sort of peace to it. Not just through David, but through V as well. After everything they been through, V and David are free.
“A happy ending here for folk like us, wrong city, wrong people” this was the first anime I’ve ever watched and boy I did not expect it to hit me in the feels the way it did, I really hope this encourages people to give the game another go as it really is one of the most beautiful games as far as characters, lore and story goes in spite of its flaws and initial launch Cyberpunk really is a masterpiece

Please do note, that the Characters, and Lore aspect of that, are backed by over 40 years of lore from the Cyberpunk TTRPG Before 2077, we had 2013, 2020, and Red. 3 whole games with their own sets of content, that came before the game, and could be used to fuel the game, I won't say the game sucks, as I have not played it. But I don't think it could stand on its own
The way the song kicked in when David was freefalling with Lucy after she managed to snap him out of Cyberpsycho-mode long enough to have a heartfelt final conversation with him BROKE ME. Like... it still hurts.
The thing is we have to find our own Lucy our own David if that’s what you’re into we as humans need a partner believe it or not people search for something they aren’t sure about
I literally look at the moon every time I hear this song on the radio The show really hits you right in the heart. Hopefully one day we'll have a chance to fly to the moon, just to hug poor Lucy
This song turned into the kind of song you listen to while walking through a neighborhood you used to live in, years later, and have flashbacks of your time back then
Once I went back to my Granddad's house. It had been ages since he'd passed away. A new family lived there. I was walking by it and it was like looking at it over a large chasm. I knew it was the old house, but nothing that made it familiar was there. Even the spirit of the place was gone, if that makes sense. I had tears in my eyes, like I had lost him all over again.
It took 10 episodes to change this song from a fun and cyberpunked-up track to a trigger track that sets off the emotions of betrayal, loss, and heartbreak. Bravo, Trigger. You really lived up to your studio name!
If the game had a reanimation service working in tiers you can subscribe to in game,with the tier representing how much health you regain an their skin/appearance i would have played more than 20 hrs of cyberpunk before ditching it. Soundtracks great tho
If only Pilar knew to stand back. If only Maine would hold back on the chrome. If only Dorio wasn't there that night. If only Kiwi didn't get lured with false promises. If only Lucy told them what was going on. If only Rebecca knew when to run away. If only David knew when to stop. Man, if only...
Edgerunners is what inspired me to pick up the game... Now I wear David's jacket, use Rebecca's gun, and I'm a netrunner while using Kiwi's bike. This story will be in my heart until I die.
David, the boy who had no dreams lived to fulfill the dreams of his loved ones. David really deserved better, he was just a normal boy.... but at the same time special. Wrong city, Wrong people
The ending of Edgewalker really reinforced that my decision to walk into the front door of Arasaka with a gun in my hand was the right decision to make.

Speak for yourself, I bought the extra psychological damage coverage.
David kept his promise to his mom by making it to the top of Arasaka, He kept his promise to Maine by inheriting his fists, and he kept his promise to Lucy by getting her to the moon.
When I realized this I couldn't help but shed a tear...
The tragedy is that David like others never really communicated their real dreams and feelings. His mom wanted him safe and to realize his potential. Lucy wanted no harm to come to David and to be with him far away from the horrors of the system symbolized as the moon. Maine didn't expect David to follow him and wanted him to stand down from the life, but he stepped up because he was David's father in the end and David is a wunderkind character. Rebecca also loved David and her dream became to make David happy and to keep him from the edge despite him not loving her back romantically. So the end hits even harder - each of our dreams are hollow if they don't bring along your loved ones so the dreams we tell ourselves and each other are oftentimes lies.

I'm glad I took it like nothing. I've been through to much tragedies, but still very sad nonetheless. Very sad scenario. Poor David...... a young homie just wanting to live right, forced into bullshit.

David grew up with a loving mom, lost her but then found a family and a girlfriend that gave him dreams and goal in life.
Having that kind of connection inside the fucked-up Night City is a miracle in itself, which makes him really special.
This song hits so much harder after finishing Edgerunners. Beautiful show even though we all knew how it would end. I got into Cyberpunk 2077 a month ago and I love it to pieces!
Im literally so emotionally wrecked because of that show rn, It's the kind of story the game should have evoked. Bittersweet, heataching, love lost.

The way they used this song to show the relationship with Lucy and David is awesome. That's why it carries so much weight for 10 episodes.
Absolutely, they used it so well.
I WAS SO ANYGRY. they use it every time ur like awhh that's cute they are bonding in this night city even though its terrible and THEY DO THAT GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Just finished EdgeRunner and I loved it. This has been one of my favourite songs of the game since I played it back in 2020 and hearing it in the show elevated the feels so much.
I thought they used the song in the show cause it was a good song recognizable from the game. If you hear the lyrics it has nothing to do with Lucy and David's relationship.
Haha yes!
A year later and it still makes me feel like going to bed. not sleeping, not closing my eyes, just sitting there, thinking about how bad that show hit me in the feels.
"What did you expect?"
"I don't know. A happier ending...For everyone involved."

@@brubaboy bro what are you on about
That feeling when you're driving, the night falls, and the lights of Night City light up. This song comes on, and you're caught up in the feels and sheer beauty of everything this game has the potential to be. This song is preem af...
This is such a great time in Night City!
I really hope "preem" and "gonk" catches on
@@DeadlyLazer that would be pretty preem choom.
Preem indeed.
I wish i spent more time just cruising and exploring the city. Finished 1st playthrough at about 60hrs. Planned on doing more after main story. Doesn't feel right for me now, chapter is closed for this character. 2nd playthrough it will be.
& this is just one of the beautiful tracks.. all are so amazing
David ending up fulfilling his promises to everyone. The sad part is how he fulfilled them. His mom wanted him at the top of Arasaka Tower, and he made it there; in pieces, with hardly any sanity left. He inherited Maine's hands like he swore, but he didn't realize that Maine never wanted David to throw away his life by being an Edgerunner. He got Lucy to the moon, but what hurt the most is that by then, Lucy didn't care about the moon; she cared about Daivd, and so her being on the moon meant nothing if David wasn't there with her.
It’s great storytelling.
It definitely didn't mean nothing
The irony is that Lucy is now living out David's dream. His last wish was for her to live and go on to accomplish her own dreams. It's perhaps a hollow victory, but as we saw from the way Lucy's own dream changed, perhaps she will eventually go on to find fulfillment and even happiness, completing David's wish.
How did he fulfill his promise to not die?
@@ccarniver That's easy. David lives on in Lucy, and all of us, choomba.

What I absolutely loved about edgerunners was actually that it's canon. It makes playing through 2077 again feel different
Yeah, rare for anime adaptations to western stuff like this to be really good AND canon. Take the trigger episode of starwars visions for example... no clue if those are canon but trigger didnt even try to contain themselves to the internal world while with this you can tell they had a MUCH bigger respect for the source and stuff
WAIT...THE ANIME IS CANON?! LOL
@@XavierFix yes. Falco is in the game and you talk to him. The game starts a year after Edgerunners
@@HG-bh2gj that and of I'm not mistaken the david Martinez in the afterlife was around as early as 1.0... could have been a fake thing I've heard as I never played 2077 that early but yes it is very much canon

“Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is an unforgettable experience that hits hard emotionally. It’s more than just an anime-it’s a story about love, sacrifice, and the brutal cost of chasing dreams in a cruel world. The animation is stunning, the characters feel so real, and the soundtrack perfectly captures the vibe of a futuristic dystopia. It’s beautiful, heartbreaking, and leaves a lasting impression. A must-watch for anyone who loves stories that aren’t afraid to show the darker sides of life.”
@mirjaxonaralov62 play the game, it's even more depressing
thanks, ChatGPT
This song relates to David and Lucy’s relationship so well it’s hard to believe it was written two years ago for the game. The lyrics basically telling a story of accepting that it’ll never work with someone you really care about, just..damn.
It coulda worked if they had used the Eddie's to leave the city instead of chroming David out. Wrong city, wrong people I guess...
Ikr! I'm over here crying over a fictional relationship 😭 RIP David
Loved the anime. David was an idiot. That’s why when you pick up the BD in the game it ends with “a cautionary tale David didn’t pick up on, will you?” He thought too much of himself, and he did lose himself. Meeting Lucy again gave him a moment of clarity, but he was already gone before that happened.
@@dogmilk9651 Yep, he destroyed himself trying to fulfill other people’s dreams, exactly what Lucy said she didn’t want to happen. I don’t think he’s an idiot though, I think he bought into the same delusion of success that every edgerunner did.
There’s a reason the “happiest” endings for anyone in the game and show is getting the fuck out of Night City. Whether you’re a merc or corpo doesn’t matter. Like Judy said - the city will always win.
Their relationship was forced trash though.
I'm not ashamed to say I cried at the end of the show. David kept his promise to Lucy and she made it to the moon, and for a moment she saw David as what she remembers his happiest. I'm not going to be emotionally okay for a while after this
yep
My favorite scene was the rooftop kiss. The goosebumps were unreal
@@mondsgesandter when Lucy kissed him to get rid of his cyberpsychosis mid air while the lyric:” you know you didn’t lose your self control” plays, literally fucking chills
I'm currently emotionally not okay right now so sad
Edgerunners put tears in my eyes multiple times. Im a grown ass big bearded tatted up man.
I can't believe this is an in game soundtrack. It fit the anime so perfectly it feels like the song is made for the show. Good job trigger
Same with major crimes, it was played on the last episode and the lyrics fits on the scene
@@jka2572 It was also played on Delamain quest's conclusion

Funny because 90% of the comments associate this song with a sad feeling, but me, I associate it with the beautiful feeling I got booting the game back in 2021 and seeing all the neon lights in Kabuki while this song is playing. I was blown away.. So even after watching the anime and crying so much in the ending, the first thing I remember when I hear this song is that great feeling that this game gave me and continues to give me.

@@kay_wal0013 yea my brother played this song for me and then he started crying and said I wouldn’t understand till I watch it and i watched it and we both was crying 😭
0:39 Hits especially hard because it makes me think about how David didn’t lose himself in the end. Went out with a bang and a smile on his face, like a legend, while simultaneously keeping his promise to Lucy to make her dream come true and get her to the moon…
Man… can’t believe I’m actually depressed and teary over a group of fictional characters.
I don’t think david was able to fulfill any of the promises he made, he was too busy trying to fulfill other peoples dreams and conpletely destroyed himself in the process
@@hiidenkiuas But that was what he cared for. Lucy even tells him he's the type of person to run into an impossible situation to save people.
@@gathererofmagic5350 but even him saving lucy was only possible in the first place because he gave into his delusions and destroyed himself more
@@gathererofmagic5350 lucy just lost her husband and all her friends at once within atleast a year
@@hiidenkiuas He wasn't going to be able to save Lucy without getting into that skeleton once she was kidnapped, and he wasn't planning on living for much longer regardless. Once Ep.8 started with him killing an innocent woman and continued with Lucy leaving him yet again without explanation as he's thinking they should probably separate, he's resigned himself to fight just a bit longer to be able to get her out of Night City if it's the last thing he can do. It's similar to how his mother only worked and hustled her ass off to try and make sure he could make it as a Corpo.
"Whatever, choom, like I give a shit"
This song hits so different after finishing Edgerunners..
i was smiling and crying at the same time man jesus christ
That's honestly such a badass way to go out, at least he still died as himself instead of being put down as a cyberpsycho maniac.
"Oh, well."

I guess it really depends in "how" you listen to any kind of music.
@@TheParez no it doesn't. There just wasn't anything to assign this song to that would evoke emotions. Back in 21 this was just a normal soundtrack song. 22? Became the anthem of edgerunners
@@Akuzhir you just voiced your own opinion how you viewed/assigned this song. Just because some songs/tracks become popular doesnt mean they arent being listened to b4??? get your head out of your ass.
@@Akuzhir Like, maybe drop down that cynical bitch-attitude a bit and maybe the world wouldn't seem so bleak anymore, m'right?
@@TheParez ?????
Even now, after all the time this song still hits hard af. For everyone it hits different: somebody is in tears, somebody is in a sad smile, BUT not a single person is emotionless. Pure masterpiece combination of a song + trigger moment. Giant thanks for everyone who worked on this, they are a giant experts of their job.
That scene with Lucy and David on the moon, absolutely beautiful.

let's be real David did some terrible things by the end of the show... Getting smashed by Smasher should've been karma for all he did.. but man it still hurts
@@jooot_6850 True. Literally the wisest people in his life were Lucy, Rebecca and his ripperdoc telling him to chill on the chrome. He didn't listen. For Maine, it was Dorio and she would've done the same for David had she survived Maine's recklessness.
@@jooot_6850 Terrible things? Prior to killing that woman, he did everything in order to protect his crew and keep them going. And even killing that woman wasn't particularly his fault, he was undergoing cyberpsychosis by that point. You have to keep in mind that when Maine died, David was only 17. I dunno about you but I'd sure as hell mess up as much as he did if that happened to me at 17.
he had no dreams of his own, so he lived for that of Maine, his mom and Lucy
@@fjlsfljsalfkjasdflka on top of that, he felt guilt for the woman and his death was on behalf of those that he lost and feels guilt over and his death also allowed Lucy and Falco to be free with more than enough money between them while ensuring that Lucy got her dream. he's not perfect but he wasn't a complete monster and did his best to keep it like that even in his final moments.
It's sad to know that David didn't lived up for his dreams. Instead, he lived to fulfil others dreams. Even though it is comforting to see that he reached the top for his mother, kept running for Maine and sent Lucy to the moon. None of this in the end was his dream. It feels like he never had free will to begin with.
That's exactly it. Night City is a city of dreams, except reality never reaches those dreams. You live the dream as much as you can, until it crashes back into reality.
The city takes. He made so many mistakes, the most he could do was give his life for Lucy's dream.
Dystopian cyberpunk , what do you expect ..
you watch his death scene again and tell me if it looks like he regrets anything. He fulfilled his dreams 100%
He said that Lucy’s dream was his sooo

The funny thing is
Even before Edgerunners, back in 2020 during my first playthrough of 2077, this song always gave me a “sad but happy” feeling.
Whenever this song plays on the radio in game, I just stop driving and take in the scenery.
Then Edgerunners comes along and just propels this song to the moon.
"Propels this song to the moon"
David - *leaves in frustration
The radio stations in the game were such garbage that I had no idea this song was even in the game. I'm still not convinced that it is, either.
Propels it to the moon ahahah 😂
Its my theme song lol since day one launch
Stop driving? I'm the opposite, I try to drive at full speed without hitting anything.

Night City remembers people for how they died and not what they did before that.

It’s fucking beautiful.
We are all Chooms ❤
Well said bruh!
Nova Choomba! Absolutely NOVA!
Shit is blowing up! Didnt see this coming.
WELL FRAGGIN' SAID, CHOOMBA!
might as well get acclimated cause thats how we're literally going to end up lol
I think what makes cyberpunk so good is it feels like you can really become a legend in night city and your V is really your chance to step into a world that is at least metaphorically alive.
David would have agreed
Still in disbelief the soundtrack of the series wasn't made originally for the anime, it fits so freaking well.
just goes to show how well made the cyberpunk world was built. If only they did a good job with the gameplay
@@nervun8097 the gameplay must be a far cry better than on launch because I picked up the game after watching the anime and am blown away by how much fun it is
The game was a broken hot mess of bugs, glitches, it was unplayable at times, false promises so many false promises on features. So when the game came out people shat on it because they lied.
Even to this day there’s so many false promises that still haven’t been delivered but the game definitely is good just not great like it should’ve been. It rightfully deserves praise for them fixing it but they did kinda burn lots of peoples trust
@@imbadatgames568 gameplay is still the same as launch, stiff and janky in comparison to industry standards, with RPG mechanics so lacklustre they've went on to scrub any mention of the game being an "RPG" a few months before release from all storefronts and called it an "open-world, action-adventure" instead. Only recently have they decided to describe their game as an RPG again (as of feburary 2022, over a year after the initial release). No amount of tear-jerking scenes from an anime can recover the credibility that CDPR used to have.
Cyberpunk gameplay was pretty much SHOOT THE BAD GUYS wasn’t it with other tactics being left on the dust
The gut punch at the ending. We all knew it was coming, but it's safe to say the ending still left us broken. So long Chums.....
I knew it was coming, but fuck they really did it in the most gut wrenching way
So long, Chooms
See you in the city of dreams choomba
Chooms you idiot.
I knew it was coming when I found the David Martinez in Afterlife, that was a minor gut-punch.
Jan 2021: Huh, this is quite a cute and sweet song... I like it!
Sep 2022: Aaaah sheet, here we go again with the feels...
get enough of chrome and you will forget the pain .
@@brotheralaric7177 just for a limited time and then you gonna remember all the pain again :P
Me at the beginning of 2020: "Looks like another year for us, hope it will be a good one!"
Me at the end of 2022: "I'm running out of 'it is what it is' to give, fucking stop it already."
@@brotheralaric7177 *RED SUN*
i´m a boy and cry ? normal ? this ending is ...
In a weird way, This song has a sort of peace to it. Not just through David, but through V as well. After everything they been through, V and David are free.
Anime hit so hard I purchased the game
now you’ll never recover financially nor emotionally ;-;
The game was buggy at launch, but it's a good game now. Don't listen to the hate. Enjoy the game, don't skip the sidequests, you'll have a blast.
@@backpain100 (i meant by how expensive it it lol)
@@davidlawand2805 no worries, i replied to his comment, not you. We got your joke lol.
@@backpain100 ah my bad
i got notification so i thought it was me lol
“A happy ending here for folk like us, wrong city, wrong people” this was the first anime I’ve ever watched and boy I did not expect it to hit me in the feels the way it did, I really hope this encourages people to give the game another go as it really is one of the most beautiful games as far as characters, lore and story goes in spite of its flaws and initial launch Cyberpunk really is a masterpiece
Characters after first chapter were 90% shish in game, they literally killed best characters when main hero story just begin
first anime? well, i have good news for you since there’s so much more out there thats arguably better than this
@@jasonnorton941 oh? So takemura, Evelyn parkers story, Panam and the nomads, the story behind Kerry eurodynes unwillingness to give up samurai... all of it, just nothingburger to you?
@@Ohnoitshohno175 i said 90 percent are shish and you talking about that 10, and nomads are nice but i didnt even remember their names, and because i play as chick with surprise i had a very pleasant date with Judy, which make her more interesting for me
Please do note, that the Characters, and Lore aspect of that, are backed by over 40 years of lore from the Cyberpunk TTRPG
Before 2077, we had 2013, 2020, and Red. 3 whole games with their own sets of content, that came before the game, and could be used to fuel the game, I won't say the game sucks, as I have not played it. But I don't think it could stand on its own
The way the song kicked in when David was freefalling with Lucy after she managed to snap him out of Cyberpsycho-mode long enough to have a heartfelt final conversation with him BROKE ME. Like... it still hurts.
For real Bro 🥲the pain Just doesn't want to fade
@@trinity6333 a thing of beauty never fades away
The thing is we have to find our own Lucy our own David if that’s what you’re into we as humans need a partner believe it or not people search for something they aren’t sure about
@@quikscopedya8037 I already found the Lucy to my David 🥰.... Minus the tragedy.
I shit you not, I teared up reading this. Edgerunners had no right hitting us all like that
It's so beautiful it made me wake up my women and tell her how much I loved her
Before Edgerunners > Night driving song
After Edgerunners > Looks at moon
I literally look at the moon every time I hear this song on the radio
The show really hits you right in the heart. Hopefully one day we'll have a chance to fly to the moon, just to hug poor Lucy
"Whoa! Check this! I can feel the fucking sun!"
*music starts*
LIE DOWN.
TRY NOT TO CRY.
CRY A LOT.
that BD is preem
This song turned into the kind of song you listen to while walking through a neighborhood you used to live in, years later, and have flashbacks of your time back then
Why this make me tear up :(
Dude holy shit I was just thinking about this
Living in an apartment, playing this song. People goes in and out, lights shines on the lift and hallway. Perfection.
Fuck this made me depressed thinking about my place when I was a teen
Once I went back to my Granddad's house. It had been ages since he'd passed away. A new family lived there. I was walking by it and it was like looking at it over a large chasm. I knew it was the old house, but nothing that made it familiar was there. Even the spirit of the place was gone, if that makes sense. I had tears in my eyes, like I had lost him all over again.
Driving around night city with song playing is super kino.
It took 10 episodes to change this song from a fun and cyberpunked-up track to a trigger track that sets off the emotions of betrayal, loss, and heartbreak. Bravo, Trigger. You really lived up to your studio name!
You forget something tho... this song also become so beautiful...
@@darkira2129it evokes many emotions...
Aka, TRAUMA!
I can’t take it. Even out of the context of Edgerunners this song tears me to shreds
i think i need platinum VIP trauma team subscription..
You're gonna need alot of eddies, choom. Just sayin
And some Copium
That didn't help JK nor Faraday.
If the game had a reanimation service working in tiers you can subscribe to in game,with the tier representing how much health you regain an their skin/appearance i would have played more than 20 hrs of cyberpunk before ditching it. Soundtracks great tho
If only Pilar knew to stand back.
If only Maine would hold back on the chrome.
If only Dorio wasn't there that night.
If only Kiwi didn't get lured with false promises.
If only Lucy told them what was going on.
If only Rebecca knew when to run away.
If only David knew when to stop.
Man, if only...
I guess thats what makes them Cyberpunks
Wrong people wrong city bro 😔
R.I.P the Edgerunners
Definitely all of that happened because of the lack of maturity
@@meatballs9327 it was the city, choom. It fills your head with dreams and takes everything you have. Wrong place, wrong people.
Edgerunners is what inspired me to pick up the game... Now I wear David's jacket, use Rebecca's gun, and I'm a netrunner while using Kiwi's bike. This story will be in my heart until I die.
2 episodes in: "Man this song is nice! I'm sensing a love story here."
Last episode: *"So this is what pain feels like."*
Like how holt says it in Brooklyn 99. "pppppPaaaaaaaainnnnuh."
"this world shall know pain" - whichever demon made the story into a tragedy
@@litpotat5601 it's cyberpunk, the real dystopia
David died so Lucy can go live her dream.😔
@@litpotat5601 In Night City there are no happy endings. Just endings.
David, the boy who had no dreams lived to fulfill the dreams of his loved ones. David really deserved better, he was just a normal boy.... but at the same time special. Wrong city, Wrong people
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Wrong city, Right people
He was an idiot that has wasted everything he had
The ending of Edgewalker really reinforced that my decision to walk into the front door of Arasaka with a gun in my hand was the right decision to make.
I made 1 wrong dialog choice because I felt like playing without a guide, what a fuck up I made
It was definitely the right choice no matter what. That ending is the most true to Johnny, and easily the most badass.
@@metzli5797 there's a reason it's called "Don't Fear the Reaper" it's the most badass ending for sure
Edgerunners
@@jacobgale4792 hardest one to complete though 🫤
Listening to this on New Year’s Day of this year, is hitting in the feels so hard man, I’m literally tearing up.
I hear You
This doesn't just "hit different" after watching the Edgerunners show, it hits in a "cry in the shower for half an hour" kind of way.
👍👍
100% agree. Like am not the only one
The same can be said for 'Never Fade Away'
Total of 10 episodes, 20 mins each, set in Night City. And managed to connect with people on this level.
God damn this is a total masterpiece isn't it?
The whole story of the Cyberpunk Universe is a goddamn masterpiece. All of it is simply incredible.
Give this man more likes
Not really lol, it was okay. Most people are overreacting because they're gamers and this is their first anime
@@digitaljosh_ its opinion based. i watched a lot of animes but this one still got a 10/10 out of me. it is truly a masterpiece, everyone should take an example from this.
@@prettygood476 facts couldnt agree more 10/10
When the music gets cut off for a news announcement and it happens to be on this song -_-
@Whitout1 god there's nothing more i hate in this game, save games could be corrupt and whole quest chains could get bugged but this just pisses me off so much haha
@@Zaefnyr I was getting so fucking mad about all the gigs everyone calls you for cause every level you unlock new gigs and ontop of that when you go to an area for the first time you get more calls introducing you to rando fukwads but now I'm level 50 street cred and been everywhere I don't get calls from anyone so I can finally relax without someone blowing my phone up every 2 minutes.
@@Zaefnyr Save games has been fixed
Bro, I can’t Fucking stand it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ohh JEEESUS know this feeling Goood Moooorning Niiight Ciiityy "SHUT UP" i will listen to the Music Damnit !!! ^^ O_O
yo Pixar, this is how you make a story. your movies were cool, but story like this got grown man teary haha.
UP got me into tears in the first few minutes though...
Proof that context can change everything around a song.
Even if the song is pretty upbeat overall, the lyrics are melancholic as hell.
@@kingofheavymetal also cause of the final episode of the anime based on this game, called "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners" which i wont spoil, but its a 10/10 ending and made me cry like i was watching angel beats again.
Crazy how 10 episodes of 20 minutes each are way better at telling a complete story than some show of 10 seasons with 40 episodes of 50 minutes
sometimes less is more
Ok relax it wasn't that good. It felt very rushed halfway through.
@@justsomedude4469 your opinion is very very wrong
@@justsomedude4469 wrong city, wrong people
@@justsomedude4469 wrong
Me listening to this song before ending edgerunners: "Oh wow! Such a nice song!"
Me listening to this song after ending edgerunners: *Crying endlessly.*
Same 😭
This is my favorite song to hear while cruising around Night City!
My favorite non-Samurai song.
Same here!
same hereeeee
Top 3 for sure
4AM is really growing on me but prob cos I'm an olde DnB DJ :D
this song is the kind of song that leaves you staring blankly for the rest of your life
And especially when that maine death theme hits
Bro I just did that XDDD
ONN ggg
Bro fr I have not been in the same mental state since I finished edgerunners
RIP David, Rebecca, Maine, Dorio, Pilar and Kiwi.
That ending destroyed my soul.
I guess you can say the ending was a.....
"Soulkiller"
@@sayansengupta5791 touché
Don't forget Dorio!
How could you forget Dorio 😭
