I love the music more than the lyrics honestly. Both are great, the remix on its own without the lyrics is probably my favorite remix in the Sonic series.
If you wanna look it thematically, the original lyrics were about Shadow abandoning his dark ways and setting out to do good, albeit with the support of his friends and Maria. At this point, hes found his feet and no longer needs to be shown the light. The lyrics no longer apply
I'm gonna be desperate... Never lose... hurry... Never lose... hurry... I believe in my future, farewell to the shadow It was my place to live, but now I need your hand Lead me out with your light, I have breathed in The disgusting air of darkness, but I never lose out To the pressure, everything's just like An illusion, I'll be losing you, before long Never lose... hurry... never lose... I never lose my confidence I know you're supporting me... Supporting me... supporting me... I'll be losing you before long
Creepier tone, UGLIER boss redesign that makes Biolizard even more of a monstrosity When I first played SA2 on GC, I was scared of fighting him. Same for King Boom Boo because of how young I was. It was my first Sonic game ever.
when I saw you call the Biolizard a him, it reminded me of how I thought the same for so long until Ian Flynn confirmed that it's a girl and the purple orbs you hit while fighting her are her eggs, just thought it was interesting to share
i ascended when i first heard this in the trailer, hearing the full version is even better, THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS‼️ at least to hold us over until we get the official ost release.
"last minute"? They were removed last minute? Where did that come from? The vocals are an iconic part of this song and it really sucks to hear they got cut. If they were cut "last minute", my guess is they might have licensing issues with Everette Bradley. I wasn't aware there were licensing issues or anything, but its by no means impossible every time they have to bring a song back they must license it out. Another possibility, though, is its only specific songs they have to do it for.
@@JaidynReiman In the trailers and demos the vocals were there. Plus For True Story was completely unaltered, so I doubt it's licensing. Just a weird decision all around tbh
they were not cut, it was an intentional choice to only have the instrumentals play and its been that way since the Summer Games Fest demo. the full soundtrack release will include an official vocal version
@noba1410 i wish it was in the mini soundtrack for shadow generations deluxe edition 😢 oh well I'll definitely buy that album when it becomes available to support my boy and his amazing game with sonic generations
Dude imagine if after shadow defeated the biolizard in this game black doom shows up and uses his dna to perfect the biolizard I know thatd be more appropriate for a final boss but imagine how cool thatd be
Apart from the missing vocals in the game, it's missing a bit of the original's beginning sequence which is oddly in the version of this remix they put in the doom powers trailer.. 🤔 Hard to describe in words what it sounds like but if you watch the trailer you'll hear it during the part where Shadow is getting doom powers & theres heartbeats in the background and Doom is like "struggle all you want", before the guitar kicks in and everything.
@@samforrt2898 Its piano?? Ahhhh thank you! Idk why I couldn't tell what instrument it was for the life of me 😩 I was so distracted by like... everything else I guess lmfao
The official has been found on a wiki page but isn't on youtube for some odd reason. Likely copyright issues. No idea why Sega would prevent it, but they might have their reasons.
You know what vocals would sound good with this new remix, GaMetal's version. If there was a way to get his vocals with this i think would sound amazing
The strange thing is that I think there might not be an official version of this remix with the vocals. It's odd but I think this version simply doesn't have a vocal version for some reason. I'd love to be wrong cause this video is fantastic to listen to but I'm just not sure.
@noba1410 Sega...hear me out... -Shadow The Hedgehog 2 (Guns return with more variety) -Have Platinum Games develop it. -Get Jaime Christopherson (from Metal Gear Rising) to score the music -Make it John Wick Styled -Have Keanu Reeves voice Shadow.
YOU GOT THE VOCAL-INSTRUMENTAL MIXING PERFECTLY, just that the official version is very muffled
While I wish the vocals were kept in the official remix, this song is still a banger regardless
it is pretty weird they removed the vocals during the boss fight
I love the music more than the lyrics honestly. Both are great, the remix on its own without the lyrics is probably my favorite remix in the Sonic series.
@@elliottracer35 I mean how many of us know the actual lyrics without looking them up?
Perhaps they're remaking the vocals for the OST release?
If you wanna look it thematically, the original lyrics were about Shadow abandoning his dark ways and setting out to do good, albeit with the support of his friends and Maria. At this point, hes found his feet and no longer needs to be shown the light. The lyrics no longer apply
@Hariburger good point
I'm gonna be desperate...
Never lose... hurry...
Never lose... hurry...
I believe in my future, farewell to the shadow
It was my place to live, but now I need your hand
Lead me out with your light, I have breathed in
The disgusting air of darkness, but I never lose out
To the pressure, everything's just like
An illusion, I'll be losing you, before long
Never lose... hurry... never lose...
I never lose my confidence
I know you're supporting me...
Supporting me... supporting me...
I'll be losing you before long
I never understood why they removed the vocals, considering the most recent game demo and some promotional videos had it with the vocals in lol
WE GOT THE OFFICIAL MIX LETS GO BOYS! I still consider this the best version, but the official one isnt too shabby.
finally someone did it correctly

@@Spinball2006 Oh.... Uh.... Ew
Most underrated song in the game. Actually there’s a lot of underrated songs
THANK YOUUUUUU, this is how it shouldve been.
i ascended when i first heard this in the trailer, hearing the full version is even better, THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS‼️
at least to hold us over until we get the official ost release.
Best version with added lyrics imo. Rad stuff!
god amongst men
Just listened to the official one and damn this is really close
The official remix was performed at TGS not too long ago and I positioned the vocals based on it. mixing quality aside its mostly accurate
The official version on Spotify is out and includes lyrics
What??
The album for the game
Really great work!
It’s strange that the trailer had the lyrics but NOT the actual game lol
The vocalist probably didn’t come back to sing the song or it’s because of copyright.
@@Unknown_User174 If Sonic Forces got the lyrics they could totally bring it back for Shadow generations
Does anyone know why they took out vocals last minute because this elevated an already banger in my humble opinion
"last minute"? They were removed last minute? Where did that come from?

That is a really cool concept
NAH, IMAGINE IF THAT LED TO A REINTRODUCTION OF ECLIPSE FROM THE ARCHIE COMICS
THAT'D BE FUCKIN SICK 🤩
Really don’t understand why they removed the vocals, is it a copyright issue or what
Can't be, they used them in the 3DS Generations boss
Probably just wanted to save it for the soundtrack release. There is no way the lyrics version isn’t in the soundtrack.
It's in the trailers so highly doubt it. Also was in Gens 3DS and Forces.
Unfortunately it’s only temporary for the trailers,
So…Yes.
Or the vocalist didn’t return for the song for in the final version of the game.
@@Unknown_User174 Wait, DID THE SOUNDTRACK RELEASE?!
Your creativity is fantastic!
Apart from the missing vocals in the game, it's missing a bit of the original's beginning sequence which is oddly in the version of this remix they put in the doom powers trailer.. 🤔
Hard to describe in words what it sounds like but if you watch the trailer you'll hear it during the part where Shadow is getting doom powers & theres heartbeats in the background and Doom is like "struggle all you want", before the guitar kicks in and everything.
sounds about the same to me
@@noba1410 Its not the same its literally missing a portion, but not much I can do if you can't hear the difference for yourself 🤷🏾
@@noba1410 BladedShard is right. It's missing the piano.
@@BladedShardYeah. In the trailer you can hear the piano part the original has at the beginning
@@samforrt2898 Its piano?? Ahhhh thank you! Idk why I couldn't tell what instrument it was for the life of me 😩 I was so distracted by like... everything else I guess lmfao
Noba! You are my national treasure for this.
Who needs the fully version if this fits perfectly!
Still one of my top tier boss battle song.😎✨💯
Perfection

I feel the need to extend this

It does sound like a Metal Gear Rising Revengeance song...
MGRR fans when metal:
@noba1410 XD Hey now!
@noba1410 Sega...hear me out...
-Shadow The Hedgehog 2 (Guns return with more variety)
-Have Platinum Games develop it.
-Get Jaime Christopherson (from Metal Gear Rising) to score the music
-Make it John Wick Styled
-Have Keanu Reeves voice Shadow.
MGRR fans when any song sounds good:
@@DarkMetalOmeganah you deserve the slander here.
metal song ≠ MGR:R
Could you extend this for 30 minutes?
Download link?
This is good enough until we get the official 🥲🥲
Who's gonna tell 'em?
@@MattNL hopefully the folks of twitter
@@buzzkilla5640Absolutely, they know how to just gossip and give information the second they see rumors about the official song.
Lmao
this comment didn’t age well
