    If I recall right a lot of what makes this song so beloved is that it's symbolic on top of its beauty. The lyrics, "live and learn", are fitting to both Sonic and Shadow.
    Sonic lives to learn, and becomes a better person by the end of the story (as protagonists usually do).
    Shadow learns to live, to have his life no longer be dictated by his origins. He's gone through a lot of traumatic stuff as well, and a part of why this song is so well-placed in the games is his connection to the "lizard". Both he and the lizard were friends of Maria, a human girl who was terminally ill, and both were created as a part of a bioengineering program to try and cure her (or something like that). The lizard was her pet salamander before it was turned into a bioweapon. They both grew hateful and regretful after Maria was killed, but Shadow eventually moved on (Lived and Learned, one might say) while the Lizard remained a weapon of destruction that despises humanity. The climactic battle between Shadow and the Lizard (with Sonic being the supporting catalyst for the former's growth) represents the future coming to terms with the past.
    At least, that's how I remember it. It's been *ages* since I've even touched a Sonic game, let alone beat one lol. Anyhow, if you read all this, thanks! I hope it was insightful enough to be interesting.

    My favorite Sonic game and soundtrack is Unleashed. It’s a worldwide adventure and the composers actually put in the upmost effort to accurately represent every culture in the game musically.

    Sorry that I'm a bit late to watch, work's been keeping me busy this week + my birthday yesterday but I'm glad you enjoyed the song!
    You can find videos of the Sonic Symphony online, an event where different Sonic music is performed live and often by different artists then the original. While I haven't had the chance to attend one in person, just seeing these videos where all the fans sing along gives me goosebumps. The songs are really good for integrating the audience.
    Great solo! I think the more electronic sound it has since it's a keyboard fits the song really well! The softer version you played right after is beautiful aswell. Both a high energy version and a more quiet version fit very well with the games story in my opinion.
    For the in-game part (‼️spoilers for the ending‼️):
    I think it's perfect for the games final boss. Its a hype song that makes you feel with the characters, you want to defeat the biolizard to fulfill Maria's final wish and save everyone.
    Shadow being the ultimate lifeform fighting against the prototype (Biolizard/Finalhazard) together with the, in Shadow's eyes, true ultimate life form (Sonic) in their super forms is such a cool ending to a Sonic game even over 2 decades later. Shadow's sacrifice at the end to fulfill Maria's wish to save humanity still hits hard, even knowing that he survives.
    SA2 was the last Sonic game on a first party console by SEGA so they wanted to go out with a bang since they at the time didn't know if this would be the last Sonic game they made. I think they certainly did just that.💫
    Also thanks for the shoutout! Looking forward to what you're gonna react to next! :)

      After having listened to a few songs you could make a video going over some Sonic Symphony versions.
      I sadly wasn't able to experience the game when it came out in 2001 since I wasn't born yet but I played the game end of 2023/start of 2024 and loved it (with mods on steam of course). I would be lying if I said that I haven't developed an addiction for the Chao Garden. I just love watching those little guys do things.

    Here's a summary of what unique about this 2d game if not everything:
    sonic cd released in 1993, is a game where you can time travel
    There are four versions of 1 zone which are: present, past, bad future, good future
    The first zone I will recommend is Palmtree Panic
    Which is the the first stage
    Here is the links for every version
