A silver hand, grasping a pistol.
A nuke and a guitar.
And one Hell of a Vendetta.
Burn it to the fucking ground!

and all of that right after the concert he gave
@@xavi_ yet screwed over his input too cuz hes not that bright too
The lone cello is rage. Raw and unfiltered. Johnny's rage, specifically. Johnny Silverhand is often signified by the cello as an instrument in the soundtrack, whereas V is represented by the synth beat.
Good analysis
Right, V would be the "rhythm" that drives the song with intensity, and Johnny is the "melody," the emotion and motivation to shove the song in a particular direction. Normally you'd think synth and cellos wouldn't go together, but in this they almost compliment and complete the song, making it a unique soundtrack. The cello comes in first, then slowly the synth becomes more and more intense with the melody. Like how V becomes more and more on board with Johnny's intent. Then the synth kinda becomes one with the cello, while becoming the main focus of the song. Showing that V is more comfortable with Johnny. While technically this is Johnny's theme, you hear it while learning about him. V is almost always there when this song is played, if we're talking about memories.
@@1ztype343 and you could say that Johnny was the start (with the cello and since he was in the 2020s) and V was the end (with the synth and he was in the 2070s)
of this rebel's path (since technically they're now the same person)
The Ballad of Buck Ravers opens with the same guitar riff as the cello part at this song.
Makes sense, johnny is, in night city terms, old fashion. So Something more classic makes sense while a modern synth for V
Cyberpunk's ost is perfection. Even all the radio music is fire
'I Really Want to Stay at Your House' flashbacks
@@foxytoxic2624 🤣 I was actually listening to it in my car earlier today.
If you can get the fucking radio to actually play then yeah.
pon pon shit all the way
@@OrangeTtop Is this a thing? I've never had issues with the radio lol
Rebel path isn't the backstory you choose at the beginning, but one of the secret endings you can do.
This one is my favourite ending, where you go and "attack" the final location, on your own, without any help, and what is in my opinion the best part of this ending, is the fact that when you start it, the game difficulty doubles, and you can't save the game (because you literally went on suicide mission), and the feeling you get, when you hear that music while attacking AN ARMY OF ENEMIES, is one of the best feelings i felt while playing a video game.
Don't forget that if you die the game fucking ends it right there.
@@Xcll-sk6kc The best part imo is hearing the guards get more and more terrified as you the further you progress into the ending.
@@S3Cs4uN8 I used a netrunner build and the NPC’s screaming in panic saying “careful she’s chipped” or if use you use legendary cyberware they’ll call it military grade it’s just awesome
Your health also constantly ticks down, healing isn’t a thing anymore
@@literallyvenomsnakeyou can heal but not to max.
Marco: "Man, this part has a certain tension to it."
Everyone who played the secret final mission that had this blaring throughout: YEEEEUP.
The Rebal Path has a long corridor walk feel. Like this can only end in death. Either Johnny's or his target's.
It escalates more and more, yet has a methodical rhythm. Makes me want to finish up the game.
Not to mention it somehow always syncs up with the reload animation of Silverhands gun. So hype.
@@RedaiRmal Believe it or not they can force that to be the case in most circumstances. Adding a bit of input lag/animation buffer would allow the reloads to land on the hits. Hi-Fi Rush is a perfect example of this being done at all times.
@@Dizzifying1 Oh I definitely get that bro. Bloodborne managed to have a boss fight feel fluid, and on the beat as well. I just love things like that. Hi-Fi Rush might be the most satisfying thing in a while. Metal Hellsinger was also incredible. (Totally responded before finishing reading your comment and also mentioned hifi rush hahaha)
Of note for this track is that the chord progression you hear in the Cello and throughout the song is actually pulled from the song "The Ballad of Buck Ravers". It's a song from Johnny's band and starts with lyrics about the monotony of work in a corp and breaking out of it to fight against it all. It's funny how you pulled that same feeling from the start about it being monotonous and the same, given that connection.
(The Ballad of Buck Ravers is also a banger rock track)
I still remember first time figuring it out by myself, I was just humming the riff of Ballad of Buck Ravers when suddenly it struck me with connection to The Rebel Path. I immediately reported to my friend with whom we're big melomaniacs, and he was like "wow wtf, that's impressive how you found that"
Also interesting detail of BoBR is how it changes from 4/4 to 7/4 for couple of times, breaking that "monotonous" feel
Lost another day
To pointless drudgery
The slow chipping away
Of my autonomy
A rodent in a race
Unsung and underpaid
My colleagues seem to me
Like slaves in sheep-array
The "Rebel Path" is Johnny Silverhands path, since he lived a life of fighting against Arasaka, one of the most powerful and evil corporations in the setting. Dude got very much consumed by said path he is walking, thats the reason we find him in the situation he is in at the start of the game. The brutality you hear in this track very much describes how Johnny chooses to fight his war against arasaka, because he really has not much mercy at all.
Cyberpunk 2077 is awesome btw. I think its very much worht your time and attention.
For me, the music represents Johnny's unbridled rage.
The Cello section being ever so slightly out of tune, combined with the dull percussion, I feel represents how he feels in the moments between his revolt. A sharp, sometimes ugly rage that drones in his head and heart.
When it shifts into the song proper, the song becomes ordered and focused, like I think Johnny becomes when fighting. The song is still there, but it's become the backing to the violence he's inflicting.
As it starts to fade, it feels like the comedown from an adrenaline rush. The song starts to fade in entirety, as if the rage is sated for a time... but it comes back in full force.
His rage will not be sated, not even by death.
Perfect comment. Perfect.
Even if he burned Arasaka to the ground he wouldn't be sated he'd just find some other corporation to rage against.
Exactly
V says “I’m filled with hate…for everything, and when I let it out on stage…it doesn’t go away.” when reliving Johnny’s memories, even herself Alt says Johnny is just angry and lashing out aimlessly against the whole world. He was cruel bastard who was just angry at everything and everyone
@@CodeeXDwhich is why I feel them not letting us play the Crystal palace as a secret boss mission is disappointing
Get the data and then.... Maybe have an option to... Oh, I don't know
Maybe
Crash the crystal palace
On Arasaka GHQ
As the one final f u from Johnny beyond the grave
This by far is my favorite track of the Cyberpunk OST. This mixed with Johnny's introduction is so freaking good. Johnny feels such a badass, especially mixed with this music.
And yes, the Rebel Path is Johnny's song.
The cello version, specifically, is Johnny's song. The other Rebel Path version is V's. They are two spins on the same thing.
I like to picture the lone cello intro as a representation of Johnny screaming his voice into a world that doesn't listen. No other instruments backs him, representing the opposition that his views are up against. The cello was probably chosen both because of the screaming, tearing and angry notes it can produce, as well as because it's a classic instrument - quite literally a sound from the past, contrasted by the "fake," "manufactured", "processed" electric music of the future. The electric music meets the ears like a wall of noise after Johnny's cello has played, and completely overpowers the rest of the track, even as we get bits and pieces of the cello later as a representation of his futile efforts to fight against the inevitable future.
The cello always amazes me because to be quite frank, the notes it produces for this song sound almost discordant, bordering on being straight up sour. And yet, the intensity with which they’re played and the remaking of the bass beat keeps it all in rhythm and harmony in spite of the harsh, almost hateful sounds of the cello. I wish I could describe it better than that, but there you go.
Again, your explanations just hit so spot-on. When you mentioned " there's an inherent brutality " in this music I immediately thought of Nightcity. Nightcity IS inherent brutality. It may look cool but it's a savage place.
im so happy people give cyberpunk a chance again, even its music. its my fav game. i love it to death
The music in Cyberpunk does an absolutely amazing job at explaining the situation even when you do not have the entire context.
I literally thought to myself yesterday while listening to this piece ''man, I would LOVE if Marco did a video on Rebel Path'' and the man delivers. Awesome stuff, keep it up chief!
:)
The cello part always sounded to me like the idea of trying to push against the flow with how you can hear the strings straining, it's like it's trying to break free, maybe like a old vs new
I think the big thing is that @4:35 when you hear the beat, its the sound of a beating heart. That feeling of feeling your heartbeat in your ears when your heart is racing, adrenaline is pumping, and rage is settling, only for it to reignite @4:59.
Re-downloaded the game and started a new character from the expansion. When Johnny Silverhand assaults Arasaka Tower and this song drops....gaming perfection.
I noted you reviewed both V's theme in Cyberpunk 2077 in addition to this. I think there are quite a few thematic elements common to both that reflect the intimate relationship between Johnny Silverhand and V, and I find that really interesting how they weave their story into the music.
This song is just incredible. The energy it adds to the sequence of the game is unreal.
Mr. Marcin Przybyłowicz is another one of today's musical geniuses. The Cyberpunk OST, from ambiental music, to combat music to radio music, all of it is absolutely amazing! Of course, the radio music is composed by the performing artists, most likely under his direction.
This track is done by P.T. Adamczyk not Marcin. Another genius. Marcin who did some tracks himself had a more supervisory role as a music director and he was directing the radio tracks as well. You should listen to P.T. 's tracks from Thronebreaker. Banger after banger. That was his first work for CDPR. Also Paul Leonard Morgan the guy who did the score for Judge Dredd also did some awesome tracks.
The squeaking sound of cello, like a string pulled near snapping, symbolises silverhand is just 100% unhinged and fallen to cyberpsychosis. It also symbolises the rage and the repeating means Johnny is only focused on one thing only, and that's nuking a tower
0:47 that is also the opening riff of The Ballad of Buck Rogers
The mix of human and machine in this version of the song is what gets me. It's the raw emotion of the cello, but the ruthless violence of metal. Your heart beats along to the pumps and the engine.
To me this song has always been one of frustration and catharsis. In the two most important missions this song plays throughout, the storyline is of either Johnny or V leading an assult on Arasaka. Johnny as revenge for his girlfriend and his city being used as nothing more than a means for arasaka to establish thier power, and V as a last ditch attempt for the life soon to be stolen from them by Arasaka and their relic. They are parallel stories, 50 years apart.
The music follows this story. The cello at the start symbolises our protagonists, the only organic, or human, part of our story. It's slow and straining on the longer notes. The drums are forever holding to the time signature, ever moving forward and never stopping. Both keep repeating, and the music feels like it's getting somehow more frustrated each time. This is the low point. The protagonists are about to start their assault. They are ruminating on their lives, and what has been stolen from them by Arasaka as they approach the tower.
Finally the instrumentation turns electronic as it starts it's transition to the crescendo. They are at the tower. Rumination has turned into determination. Frustration has turned into anger.
The music then breaks into it's more 'action music' part as the first shot is fired. The adrenaline is pumping the brutality of combat is forceful and cathartic. This is a chance to get back at those who wronged them. And each slower section feels like it's just waiting for the next fast part. Our protagonists are eager for every fight as they make they way through the tower...
Until finally it stops... they have reached their destination, and they now have to make their decision as for what to do next.
The Rebel Path. Defiantly a perfect title for how banger of a song this is! Let’s out the inner Edgerunners within, storming into Arasaka Tower with just me, Johnny, and all the iron I can carry.
I absolutely love both Johnny’s and V’s ostinatos, but them together in Been Good To Know Ya is an insane combination of them. Great video!
This song is very representative of when it appears, when you play as Johnny silverhand in the flashback and (spoilers) when you decide to do the ending where you storm Arasaka with him (which is basically by yourself but with Johnny guiding you) choosing to become the rebel so no one else gets killed during the mission and kinda rebels the choices the game gives you especially since getting that choice you actually have to wait for it to appear by initially not selecting any of the other possible endings, I like how he also basically summed up the situation with V and Johnny and I think the rebel path is also how they grew with each other to get the situation sorted, the song is all about embodying the spirit of a rebel saying "f**k it all" and doing something yourself to make change, because you say f it I'm not risking my friends lives imma cripple this corporation myself or die trying
this is not a lifepath theme, but johnnys theme, specifically when hes attacking arasaka
I think the song is about Night City and its oppressive atmosphere. It is aggressive, and brutal, and constantly shifting. Every element of this song that you might try to rely on to get your bearings will betray you at some point. The groove is hypnotic in the way it pounds at some parts and almost slips away at others. It's the rhythm of a life in which it appears, at least on the surface, that you can only rely on yourself to decide where to go.
V's story is a lot like the story of any kid whose life is "taken over" by something bigger than themselves. Johnny is present here I think because he's representative of this pattern of influences trying to make you into their ideal version of you. He promises a "rebel" path against the corporate system, but any rebellion within the cyberpunk system will only get you so far before you risk becoming someone else's puppet in a way you didn't even see coming.
That base beat is from the in story SAMURAI song “ The Ballad of Buck Ravers”
This game really does have some of the most heart pumping and ethereal music in it, and it's always so emotionally charged
It signifies the unleashing of a judgement. Goal dead set. Reasons clear. No turning back. Experience and informations put through the calculations of morals and principles. This is for those who went too far and need to be put out
You were close with that initial read but you glossed over the repetition thing, which I think I'll come back to. You're right, cyberpunk in its current multimedia state on the whole is about how the system of this world creates martyrs, like Johnny, like David, like V, like (DLC spoilers) songbird. The rebel path is an anguished song on loop, a neverending cry of rage, an allure to self-destruction and a bitter, violent death, distorting and distorting with the fuel of paranoia, adrenaline, and trauma til it fizzles out against the unbreakable wall of oppression and military might arasaka has built. If you nuke a tower, they'll just build another one.
I want to say cyberpunk is a perfect interrogation of that very specifically punk kind of nihilism but it falls on its face or goes around the themes it has worked to build a lot, often to be more consumable. I think taken as a whole with the anime and DLC in tow though, it gets close to being the deconstruction I want it to be, it's just missing a line or two that ties it all in a bow.
What I'm hearing is Johnny's anger towards Arasaka. The cello is the thought of Arasaka in his mind. The repeating lines I see as him unable to get the thought of aggression out of his head. The melody itself feels like it's telling him he's about to do something.
That's Tina Guo mastering the cello.
Thank you for doing this, this was one of my favorite tracks in the whole game, and my ringtone lol
This plays in a couple of points in the game. I remember when it first came out during the scenario this played there was the bug where the music wouldn't end. While in one sense it was kind of annoying but it also made the entire scenario feel epic. This music really gets you hyped up for combat. If music can be a drug then this song is either buffout or psycho...for those who like Fallout.
Always loved the real heavy techno beat it just goes so hard this piece especially when your in the flashback as johnny silverhand shooting his way through arasaka tower to get alt out and to blow up a nuke just styling on everything while hes doing it
"Blaze way down the Rebel Path."
The brutality is that anything in the way is consumed in the blaze.
Internal Battle, Changing while remaining the Same, essentially sums it up. A great analysis of the song, just earned my sub :)
I usually see the electric cello version of Johnny's Rebel Path theme during A Love like Fire, being the representative V being immersed into Johnny's memories and seeing what he saw and what he felt in the final moments of his life. And later the music alternate to the electric guitar version in For Whom he Bell Tolls (Rogue's ending and the title of Jackie's favourite book), where it was Johnny himself in control over V's body. The beats was closer to a pulsing heart which also count down to the last remnant of Johnny's life which was intertwined by V's fading mind. It also reflect Johnny's personalities; rage, violence and madness but also his passion and sense of righteousness.
I love the cyberpunk soundtrack's it's crazy how the ost's fit the characters so well like this one you can clearly see the rebel Jhonny and Never Fade Away (game ending) fits for V in my opinion.
Get the payload on the elevator, arm it, let gravity do its thing, explosion rocks the foundation, tower crumbles chaos, screaming, roll credits.
I know this months after the fact, but the fact this theme is very similar to some tracks in Witcher 3 makes me appreciate it even more. It almost could fit into the Witcher but then the synth kicks in and gets wild AF. I just love the music from CDPR so much.
I bet it's the same violin too
cyberpunk 2077 some amazing songs that hit very hard and yes this is john silverhand's theme during one of the scenes
(spoiler)
it signifies change to extreme means specifically nuking a corporations main building
I am always amazed at how close you get in ideas to what the game goes for. The song is indeed tied with Johny, there are some variations used across the game used for certain sections, including one particular ending. Would love to see more Cyberpunk analysis, maybe the absolute banger that is "The Heist" from the same game.
so there are a few archetypes of villian, and the one that is of interest here is the "force of nature". Jhonny Silverhand is introduced as a force of nature type of villian to the player. their motives are so radical and extreme that V can't really cope with them. The rebel path is one of extreme selfishness, it's about getting what you want despite or sometimes to spite everything opposing you; laws, corpos, gangers, everything can and should burn for getting in your way. It's the quintessential "punk" in cyberpunk. eventually silverhand grows as more of a narrative villian as the game progresses, but right at the start; where there is no motivation, no pathos, just raw anger and power and the will put to path; that is a force of nature.
He definitely has to react to "Been Good to Know Ya" from Cyberpunk
I just realised the main motif/ intro line in this is the same as the intro riff in one of Samurai’s (Johnny Silverhand’s band) songs; “The Ballad of Buck Ravers”.
Yay, my request has been accepted.😁
You actually pretty cool characterize Johnny Silverhand as badass.
Thanks for reaction.
i always felt like rebel path was V's story of rebelling against night city and the notion of the only legends in the city being dead ones, the chello version plays in peak moments like johnny assaulting arasaka tower or trying to free his friend later in the story, but it also plays in V's final assault too, i think the rebel path is the path to become a true legend in night city which is why it plays at legendary moments in characters stories.
“The most dangerous creation of any society is the man with nothing to lose”
Oooh, I’ve been waiting for this one! Glad you got around to it Marco!
This song is represented of the game play. Since you get stronger and grow from engaging in fights.
This song also gives a clue on how to beat the game on higher difficulties. Since like you this said the badass vibes given off by the song is smart and methodical instead run and gun badass vibes. The smart and tactical way of approaching fights works best since at higher difficulties it is still possible to be flatline by lowe level threats.
I like how you can hear Witcher 3 folk/tribal music elements in Cyberpunk music :)
Without a doubt cyberpunk has one of the best soundtracks out of any recent game.
This tune works so well where its used, that constant unstoppable forward march
This music is the embodiement of looking death in the eyes and stabbing it, again and again.
1:04
It's interesting you say that, since the band Samurai were known for their songs and lyrics that touched on the mundane, repeating, grinding nature of the daily lives of people in night city, and corpo life in general. It's fitting that this is johnny's theme.
When it fades out, I seen the disappointment on your face saying "Awww that's it?" Then it flares back up and your smile comes back and you head bop.
this is johnny's theme, the only times you hear this song while in game are when u are using johnny or when u are using his weapon the malorian arms at the endgame, so I believe the "rebel" here is in fact johnny
finally.a video i’ve been waiting for but never found
One thing that might be interesting to know (I haven't seen it posted) is the term "rebel path" is a reference to a Samurai song Johnny wrote called Chippin' In, the line is "Blaze your way down the rebel path." The song is about his fight against corporations.
I believe the cello piece is reminiscent of those old samurai movies where two people are about to duel and you have this ominous solemn tune that prefaces the confrontation. There are a lot of parallels in the story and game that suggest this samurai theme. Some are more obvious like the name of the band samurai but also in the very nature of the character V as a solo fighter and the very solitary nature of the gameplay and the solitude you tend to experience in the story as a citizen of nightcity. It's stuff like this that really makes me think that this game is an under appreciated masterpiece of an experience.
I like how he gets the rebel path being an actual character wrong. when it’s just street kid, nomad or corpo
Silver hands tower ambush music, is what I'd play while storming a castle
Its cause everyone liked the cello in track - and it had the most serious overtone to what the story of silverhand's version of nuking arasaka is. Then the breakdown is obvi the action part.
Been Waitin' for this.
As has been said, the Rebel Path is Johnny SIlverhand's song. Not just a rebel, but *the* Rebel, who led a strike against the Arasaka Corporation in the 2020's that culminated in a nuclear detonation at their Night City headquarters. There were other legends involved, such as Rogue, Morgan Blackhand, Spider; but none of them were Silverhand. He was the "Face" of the operation, the symbol of a generation who had grown up crushed under the boot of megacorporations and who'd helped create the Rockerboy movement, of cyberpunks saying "fuck the system" and fighting back. A movement we should note, that inspired other Rockerboys across the globe, including a young Yorinobu Arasaka.
But don't mistake it, Johnny isn't a hero. He's an asshole, a self-destructive, self-centered, and dangerous man who lit up an angry mob to be meat shields to protect his attack on the corporation. He got a lot of people killed, and a lot of them were his friends or fans, purely for his personal vendetta against the corp. Was he justified? Possibly. But that cello is his rage, raw and discordant.
Yet try as he did, Arasaka lived on. He became the terrorist, maligned for causing the Time of the Red, and they, the Arasaka workers the victims of a madman's rage.
Spoilers Below:
Yet despite all that, this song is most well known by the fans for how it plays in the game. During the "Don't Fear the Reaper" ending, where we as V (and Johnny) can finally learn from the mistakes he made in 2020. To truly walk the Rebel path, and know that no matter what happens, we're not planning to return from our trip to the Arasaka Tower. Instead of calling in backup, asking our friends to risk their lives like Johnny did in 2020, playing it safe by betting on the odds of success. We go it alone, taking our own lives in our hands for the first time, not running any more but choosing to inflict a wound that Arasaka would never be able to heal from. The song is reflecting the blurring of the personalities, a cello's rage overwriting a modern synthetic beat. Accepting that Silverhand and V are fully synergized, and the death sentence that necessarily entails. We're Silverhand's protege, and this is his masterpiece.
This song always made me feel like SUCH a badass when I heard it while playing, in all it’s versions.
Your analysis on the song is accurate to what’s going on. I’m seriously impressed that you were able to capture the emotions and theme of the song - without playing the game.
The music to this game just made all the more sense to me, when I found out they were collaborating with the guy who scored the Dredd movie. You had the Judge Dredd aesthetic (and attitude) ofc you want the music to go along with that.
Edit: But yeah, this is also the Silverhand theme underneath that.
For me, the cello part is the more poetic, gentle, lyrical side of the character. It's still dark, but it's there - and then comes the rage that consumes everything. That "inner Johnny" melody is still there, but it's deep within that all-encompassing rage.
Your take on this song is actually quite entertaining considering the first time you hear it, you're blowing people apart as Johnny Silverhand while raiding a coporation owned skyscraper. 🤣
You’re absolutely right LOL
I love two things in this video. How he really enjoyed the music and got excited about it in parts, and how without any knowledge of the game, he got all the intended yet subjective meaning right.
Oh I've been waiting for this one.
I didn't even know I was waiting for it until I saw it, but that's besides the point.
After listening to your analysis of the cello and the beats, I kinda understand what it means.
The Cello represents the evolution as what you said. With every new tone, it means "did it work? No? Then let's try this" in an uncertain feel.
The beats represents like thump of walks.
Ahh It's been a rough couple of weeks. Always good to just chill and watch some of Marco's work. Cheers man
Hope things start to turn a corner, Arthur
I don't know if anyone mentioned it, but your glasses reflecting the green light at the beginging is such a nice touch
Aw thank you
“Welcome to Arasaka Tower”
“Time to party like it’s 2023”
Time to party like it's 2023
at the part right after the cello in the beginning, i always imagined that the song takes place in a metro, where the main high pitched reverved beats are coming from a screen advert playing throughout the metro, and then blurs out when the rebel attack happens
Feeling of killing endless of amounts of chooms with silver hands hand gun while the beast of a tune is playing is exhilarating almost
Makes sense. Johnny is all about fighting the forces of entropy.
oh boy walking into arasaka tower with the cello playing, felt so great - the bad-assery is real
This song signifies the fact that either you stay stuck and do the same thing everyday or to choose to grow and live the best life you can, there is the fact that it actually doesn't make a difference because after that you die and everything you've done is down to ashes. Dumb way to think about but that's how i feel 😂😂
one of the best soundtracks ever in the gaming industry.
Great video as always, another amazing track from the cyberpunk ost you can listen to is Never Fade Away from the in game ending, although try not to get spoiled :).
Don't know if you're familiar with PAYDAY's ost, but I'd love to see you react to some of those tracks, especially Razormind. PAYDAY is a franchise that I don't think gets enough attention for its music. So much of it really captures the vibe of a heist, it would be super interesting to hear you break down what's going on with that.
when this music plays in the game there are some unique things to keep in mind... this music only plays in Jhonny's flashbacks, or in moments where Jhonny is in control....
the soft Cello plays durring scenes where you are talking and building up to the action,
when the drop hits- it's comabt, the deep pounding bang bang bang of your gun in tune of the music, the focus the pain, the anger focused into a weapon... then it dies down... the anger is sated... the combat is over, but the fight goes on
you get the backtrack as he finishes up his fight and starts to do what needs to be done, arming the nuke, uploading the data to destroy Mikoshi
then it builds again as combat draws near once more... breaking out and becomeing intense once more- time to fight.
Something tells me this guy shuffles in his spare time.
I know I'm a little late to the party here, but I just HAD to let everyone know a little fun fact that may be interesting to some. The cello here isn't just any cello, and not just played by any cello player. It's Tina Guo, arguably the most well-known ELECTRIC cello player in the industry. For example, she also played the main theme of the latest Wonder Woman movies.
I used to blast around Sakas backyard with this music:3
I feel like the start of the song is about Johnny but as soon as it comes to the short pause, V enters the scene to continue the rebels path
A few other tracks that you might like are V and Been Good To Know Ya. Johnny's Rebel Path is one of the best tracks and for me the entire Cyberpunk feeling is compressed into this song.
Edit: Didn't realize you've already done a video on V.
This track have so intense Ladies of the Woods (Witcher 3 ost)vibes
The story of cyberpunk itself is really sad
The truth how V and Johnny Share's one Body
In one Side V was Saved By Johnny
And Johnny is Also Saved By V
But no matter how they show their affection to each others
One of them is forced to take one body and erased another memories
i forgot this wasnt the only version of this song holy shit O_O
Everybody gangsta until the cello kicks in.
